i don't mean to judge, but this is kind of upsetting, on many levels. there's the smoking next to your child, although, it's not lit so maybe she'll walk away when she lights up. and i thought salma was still breastfeeding, which is not great if you're smoking...anyway, it's still a bummer for me.

I agree, this should be a no-brainer but some people are still dumb enough to smoke around their kids & babies. It really grosses me out. IMO smoking around children should be child endangerment. Poor Valentina, this is very disappointing, I thought she was such a great mom for being such a major breastfeeding advocate. Boo!

I am disappointed in Salma too. She says she doesn't starve herself to be thin because the extreme diets make so many actresses super grouchy. But smoking . . . come on Slama. You're strong enough to quit this awful, unhealthy habit.
