5月31日是世界无烟日（World No Tobacco Day）。世界卫生组织自1988年起将这天列为“无烟日”，每年设立不同主题，今年的主题定为“烟草威胁发展”，鼓励社会各阶层戒烟，找回健康。作为梦工厂，好莱坞以往曾将吸烟浪漫化。在注重社会健康与环保的今日，这当然是行不通了。请看以下美国名人分享自己戒烟的心路历程。
《广告狂人》男主角乔汉姆（Jon Hamm）在剧里吞云吐雾，烟不离手，现实中的他20年前已戒烟，镜头前抽的是做戏用的草烟。
"It's glamorous on film, but it's not glamorous waking up and smelling like an ashtray."
“戏里抽烟魅力无穷，但翌日在现实中起床，全身却臭得像个烟灰缸，一点也不迷人。”
不少名模靠吸烟来维持体重身形，但有不少顶尖名模站出来表示对这种自残的瘦身法“瘦够了”。全球最富有的超模吉赛儿（Gisele Bündchen）：
“When I quit smoking, I gained 15 pounds. So? I prefer myself this way. Nothing is worth your health.”
“我在戒烟时增重了15磅。那又怎样？我喜欢这样的自己。世上没有
一样东西值得你赔上健康。”
美国名嘴乔恩·斯图尔特（Jon Stewart）：
“I used cigarettes to fill a hole in me--an emotional void. It was an activity that I did to make myself feel better.”
“我抽的不是烟，而是虚空。我用烟来填补内心的虚空，让自己无所事事时感到好过。”
美国上任总统奥巴马：
"I haven't had a cigarette in 6 years ... that's because I'm scared of my wife."
“我怕我老婆，所以我在六年内已没敢沾过一根烟了。”
"I've said before that as a former smoker I constantly struggle with it. Have I fallen off the wagon sometimes? Yes. Am I a daily smoker, a constant smoker? No."
“作为一个前烟客，我到现在仍不断地与香烟进行拉锯战。我有偶尔偷吸吗？有。但这是否表示我每天、经常在抽烟？又不是。”
米歇尔奥巴马（Michelle Obama）透露丈夫戒烟的真正原因：
"'I know that his ability to ultimately kick the habit was because of the girls, because they're at the age now where you can't hide. I think that he didn't want to look his girls in the eye and tell them that they shouldn't do something that he was still doing.'"
“我知道最终驱使他戒烟的原因是我们的女儿。到了她们这个年龄，他抽烟的事实也藏不住了。我想他是不愿自己烟不离手，但还敢直视女儿告诉她们不准吸烟。”
