Lame is rating what is a good or bad answer. People have the right to voice what they want. A lot of users seem extremely bothered by the fact ayu probably smokes and they try to find a definite answer, probably to ease their feelings about the matter. Yes or no answers here can be rather biased sometimes based on how people feel about smoking. Some people almost treat smokers like criminals, getting into denial about the possibility of ayu smoking.
Why do people need so much to know whether she smoke or not? For me their intention is probably just for them to either get annoyed or relieved by ayu smoking or not smoking. Maybe it's just me, but I find it rather discriminatory to rate someone as a smoker and look down on them just because of the habit. I find smoking bad and I do encourage people not to smoke, but I won't get annoyed when I discover someone I know smokes. It's their life and they do what they want, as long as they aren't causing problems to other people (alcohol abuse, disrespectful smokers, etc). I can explain to them about the risks and such but I won't look down on that person just because they've just chosen to do that.
Seeing 1 pic or 2 of ayu smoking still isn't an answer to tell whether she smokes or not. What if those photoshoots have actually caught one of the very few times she decided to just try a cigarette? Does drinking one beer on your entire life makes you an alcoholist?
There will never be a definite answer unless we clearly see ayumi smoking regularly, like in the case of artists such as KEIKO (who will actually make references to smoking). so far, there's not such a definite answer.
