Natasha Lyonne Quit Smoking Using Vape Products

The actress Natasha Lyonne told the media that she quit smoking combustible cigarettes last year using vaping products.

She also said she attempted to quit vaping, but she stopped because she enjoyed it. She stated that she “quit quitting vaping” in a post on X, formerly Twitter, after a fan asked, “How’s the vape quitting going?”

The fan also attached a screenshot featuring a conversation from her television series Poker Face where Lyonne’s character Charlie Cale is told cigarettes are “really bad for you.”

“Quitting cigarettes was a big enough swing for a while,” she wrote in the post.

The raspy-voiced actress told People magazine that quitting cigarettes had been “a nightmare.”

“I’ll be honest. It’s the worst decision I ever made,” she said jokingly. “Of course, my true and deep hope is that the technology will get there such that I’m able to smoke again consequence-free since it’s one of the great loves of my life.”

Recently, the European Parliament, in full assembly, adopted a report recognizing the role of vaping in aiding smoking cessation. This comprehensive adoption by the Parliament marks a pivotal moment in the fight against smoking-related illnesses, according to an emailed World Vaper’s Alliance release.

The report, a part of the Parliament’s broader initiative on non-communicable diseases, acknowledges vaping as an effective method for smoking cessation and may also set a new direction for health policies within the EU.

The move follows the EU’s Subcommittee on Public Health (SANT) endorsement on Nov. 7. However, the initial recommendation by the SANT to limit vaping in certain public areas remains a point of contention.
