Daniel Radcliffe's friends are pleading with him to quit his "disgusting" 20-a-day cigarette habit.The 18-year-old actor - who is currently filming 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' - has become so addicted to nicotine he has been nicknamed 'Harry Puffer' by his co-stars.A source said: "Daniel has been smoking up to 20 cigarettes a day. Every time they call 'cut', he lights up. It's disgusting."Friends, including co-stars Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, have been warning him about the dangers of smoking. But he doesn't take any notice."Daniel reportedly got through a whole pack of cigarettes when he had to film a difficult stunt last week.The insider added to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "He was really nervous about the scene and was sparking up constantly."Movie bosses are said to be worried Daniel's habit could tarnish his schoolboy image and have reportedly told him not to smoke in public.However, their warnings have fallen on deaf ears and Daniel is still said to be "smoking like a trooper" on nights out.
The source said: "He's been having late nights out with stars including Kevin Spacey and Stephen Fry and been puffing up a storm."

It's a shame that whilst dreaming up this story the Sun didn't remember that smoking in any UK work place is now illegal otherwise I might have taken it more seriously.

It is illegal to smoke at any workplace in the UK, so I doubt this story is at all accurate. If Daniel does smoke (which by the way isn't illegal and perfectly his own choice) what difference does it make?

The Sun also seems to be convinced that the last film (Deathly Hallows) is presently being filmed - wrong!! Do journalists never check facts these days or would this get in the way of a... Read More

Miriam: "If Daniel does smoke ... what difference does it make?"
The difference is he'll smell worse and very likely suffer preature ageing, and shorten his life.

What I like the most is the gay innuendo. OK, Stephen Fry is gay. But Kevin Spacey.... Apparently the hacks have a strong interest in ignoring the latest London rumour : he's been datin... Read More

Oh, please, People! The word "actor" was once synonomous with the word "prostitute", and now you expect these people to be role models?
No wonder the world is so messed up!

Two thoughts here. 1) Did it never occur to anyone that the 'Dan' seen smoking 20 cigs a day may just possibly be, I don't know, one of his few body doubles?
2) We as a society just ... Read More
