Beyonce smoking
I presume it's her new video, I saw on one of the music channels last night but it shows her dragging the butt end of a fag a couple of times.
Now I'm not all precious about smoking and smokers and had seen her smoking cigars in a previous video but, for me, this totally ruins the fantasy. I mean, she is an absolutely gorgeous woman and if this is her new video this is going to be on heavy rotation across the music channels.

I saw this last night too and thought it was quite bad seeing as though many children look up to her!!
i'm not against smokers (i smoke myself) but i dont think it should be glamourised at all! |

She didn't ask anyone to look up to her, she doens't owe any children the grace of not smoking! It's the parents' responsibility to instill values in their children, not Beyonce's.

Theres a difference in a person (such as Beyonce) smoking in real life and smoking in her videos.
when done in vidoes it's seemed as galmourising it thas all im saying. |

i say CARRY ON, if it helps get her a more harder edge and improve her music quality then i am all for it, i like her new look and so far Sweet Dreams is the only song i like by her, she needs to find an edge and swearing in Telephone and smoking in her new video i think she's onto the path of something different than the usual R&B clap trap she usually has. shes a groing woman for crying out loud not a flamin' saint!! i mean it's not like she's a God she's a singer and a bit of a bore until recently, i hope that she carrys on to be honest just to show that everyone has a darker side!! but i dont get the big whoop!!!
i hate smoking, my friends smoke and i have lost someone bacause of it, so i am so mixed, but whatever she chooses...i dont mind!! it's her and what she want to do and thats all that matters!! |

Smoking isn't illegal, millions of children have parents who smoke and go on to never smoke themselves. If parents can do it, then Beyonce sure as hell can. I don't like smoking, but I don't resent the right of others to smoke - in their videos/real life, whatever.

How's this any different to showing someone drinking?

I'm no huge fan of Beyonce but the video is set in the 1950s-60s and in that era, everyone and their dog was smoking. It was seen as glamourous and sexy.
She's also downing alcohol so much that she ends up crawling across the floor in the same video. Surely that is worse than one cigarette, or has everyone become desensitised to alcohol...? |

My first thought was it was to go with the concept of the video - she's plays a repressed '50's housewife and the 50's it was seen as almost glamourous smoke on tv / in films
Of course, i'm probably completely wrong and she just wants to smoke in her video

I doubt she smokes in real life. She has an amazing voice and I'm sure she values it. It's just a music video.

That's the Sasha Fierce side of her though. What about Gaga and the glasses made of fags? It's not like people are gonna look at Beyonce and go, "Ooh! Beyonce is smoking! I shall smoke too!", just like they aren't gonna go out and get themselves an ugly partner with huge lips just because Beyonce's husband fits that description.
I like Beyonce, but I'm not gonna start lighting up just cos she has. People need to chill out. Young people aren't as impressionable as you think. And you can bet all the parents who will mostly complain will be the ones who smoke like chimneys... |

I'm not raising the point because of the moral higher ground, thats a different issue.
I just don't like to see these gorgeous female icons smoking. There's a reason why they try to avoid being papped with a fag in their hand, it's not good for their image but they all do it, I just don't want to see it and seeing her do it in this video just totally spoils it for me. If I was compiling a "100 women I'd like to shag" book she'd be out of it

Meh... I still find the glamorous woman with a cigarette highly sexual and attractive.
A chav with a fag, then no. But dolled up glamourpusses with cigarettes... HOT. |

It's all for look and show. I doubt she smokes in real life.

Disgusting, but up to her. I thought she believed in God and such.

Smoking and God don't mix ideologically. But like I said, up to her; I guess you missed that part so, here it is again: *drum roll* up-to-her *cymbal tish* |

Not a problem with me. This isn't the first time she's smoked for a music video, photoshoot, etc.

Could be worse she could be smoking pot or doing heroin or sniffing coke, she'd probably get away with it, I mean it's Beyonce and if she does it then it's...

She must be gutted.
We all have our favourites and icons but we don't want to know the nuts and bolts about them all. |
