yikes. :teek I hope not, because smoking's sooooooo bad for your voice.

That is the blurriest picture I've ever seen. Are you sure that is even Ayumi? Anyone have a clearer picture?

It looks like she's eating something..not smoking

And that doesn't look like ayu...but it probably is because the other "androids" in that video didn't have open face costumes

you know she does alot of gum commericals...and she could be eating one!

It does look like a cigarette but the way she holds it doesn't look right though. People who say they don't care if she smoke are quite "fake" IMO, I don't know but I don't really like to see her smoking because it's the dumbest thing to do beside suicide. How about someone now say Ayu do drugs and here comes these "rational" fans who say "oh it's her personal life I don't give a damn!", that's just doesn't make sense if you love her so much. What I would say is I do care if she smoke but I can't do anything about it. Yes I care! I hope she stop if she did smoke.

It's her finger.

lol it can't be her finger

look at the latest tabloids pictures. she's smoking.

ayu smokes. big deal.

^ it is a big deal if she sings. Plus it's bad for her health. Would you really not care if Ayu died 20 years early??

her life. her decisions.

if she did..it would really be her own fault... :eyebrow

i would cry if she died all because of smoking.... that's really a waste... but yeah... i guess like some ppl say... it's her life..

Blah...why does it matter if she smokes? Sure it's bad for her health and voice, but a lot of things are! I mean...A LOT of things are bad for you and it's not like smoking is just going to cause her to fall over dead in 10 years. She lives her own life, just like we live all of ours and just because she is a celebrity doesn't mean we can all sit around and grumble and hold her to this god-like standard that no one can live up to. I love Ayumi and all, but she's not some sort of Heaven-Sent Perfect Goddess who can do no wrong. She's human.

It's her finger.
Here a small video.

hmm, I think it' her problem if she is smoking or not.
She surely knows that it isn't good fer her health.
If it is really so, it would be soo a shame.:(

well from the proof we have the tabloids aren't real, they could dress someone up just like her and have a cigerette in her hand...We know chinese tabloids aren't alway right, and plus she was drunk so she does stupid stuff when she is drunk

does anyone have Ayu's smoking-pix???

on a diff forum i read that ayu smokes indeed, some of her fans there where really going mad because she did that and even started to compare her with britney spears >.< anyways, imho she can do whatever she wanna do, if she smokes that's really ok with me, i'm not going to like her less because of that... even better, i'm going to like her even more because then she is showing that she is human :D

I heard smoking's actually pretty popular in Japan, sadly...
