Courtney Love Needs to Quit Altogether
Monday, June 18, 2007 • (6) Comments • Tags: Celebrity ,Courtney Love ,Kurt Cobain

Courtney Love is having a "mini-war" with cigarettes.

The former Hole singer, who was advised to give up her 40-a-day habit after
doctors found pre-op nodules on her throat, admits she is struggling to
quit.

Courtney, 42, wrote on moonwashedrose.com: "I'm going thru (sic) hell trying
to cut back on smoking.

"I'm down to a pack a day from two, but it's a pain and each fight of the
urge is a little mini war
.

"The doctor guessed exactly how much I smoke too and told me I'll have to
get surgery
.

"I'm trying to get to half a pack a day and then quit when I get to 10. I
think of all I've been through and I can do this."

The former heroin addict has already showed impressive willpower this year
after she lost over 50lbs, which she accredits to yoga and a macrobiotic
diet.

Courtney has slammed reports she has lost too much weight.

She said: "I noted - 'cos my kid bought it - I was on the cover of a
magazine and they said I was 115lbs!

"I couldn't walk if I was 115lbs. I'm a big girl with big shoulders and ribs
and health is really important to me. Hugely."

Courtney has a 14-year-old daughter Frances Bean with the late Nirvana
frontman Kurt Cobain.

“I couldn’t walk if I was 115lbs. I’m a big girl with big shoulders and ribs
and health is really important to me. Hugely.”

Health being hugely important to her…aside from smoking, drugs, drinking, cosmetic surgeries and injections, that is.

I like Courtney well enough but that was a supremely stupid statement.

stupid comment though I’m so glad to see her getting clean and her huge efforts deserve a bid admiration!I mean she’s been a walking dead for some time now and I think she altogether looks pretty good now…well she’ll always be ‘Courtney Love’ though!lol!

her skin is holding up pretty nicely for someone who smokes two packs a day.  maybe it’s just staying out of the sun.

How do you smoke just 1 pack a day? That’s just too much.
