"Smokes at least once in the movie."
"Paltrow smokes in about 15 separate scenes. In some of the scenes, her exhales are not very visible. But in at least 4 scenes she does her trademark french inhale, and in least 5 scenes she has a visible exhale. A girl is also shown smoking as Paltrow's character as a teenager, but I can't remember her name from the closing credits and she's not listed on us.imdb.com. Ditto for another woman who smokes in one scene where she plays a private detective's secretary."
"A very enjoyable smoking performance... has a hands free drag and exhale during the opening credits, and has approximately 8 other smoking scenes in the film, with a few dangles, several inhales and exhales. Gwyn doesn't seem to be smoking as heavily as she had in the past (story was she started up again for the film and has since quit) but her smoking was well done, reasonably filmed, and a very important part of her character. I was quite pleased... and it's a pretty good, and unique film to boot!"
"The cigarettes Gwyneth smokes in this film are pretty hard to find: she described them in an interview as 'sweet, Irish, unfiltered', and sure enough, they're a brand called 'Sweet Afton', with that unmistakeable yellow flat pack."
"For someone who chain-smokes like Gwyneth, she sure didn't seem to enjoy all the constant smoking she did in this film."
"[Gorovaia] smokes as teenage, Young Margot Tenenbaum"
