AceShowbiz - Doja Cat hasn't completely quit smoking after all. Despite declaring that she was "nicotine free" more than one year ago, the "Planet Her" artist was spotted puffing on a cigarette outside of London's iconic Foyles bookstore.
On Tuesday, July 30 outing, the 28-year-old could be seen looking relaxed while smoking outside the building. She opted to go with casual outfit for the outing, by wearing a graphic Dior t-shirt with plaid brown and white shorts.
Doja finished off her look with knee-high black leather boots, a silver cross necklace and a small brown purse. She carried a black leather jacket over her arm.
This arrived after Doja opened up about smoking nicotine-free vapes with Interview Magazine back in April 2023. "I haven't smoked nicotine in like 10 weeks," she told the publication at the time.
"And then Elle just came out with a shoot where I'm smoking a cigarette, but it was when I was smoking," she added. "They've had these photos in this interview for a thousand years, and now people are like, 'Oh my God, she's smoking again.' But I don't smoke. I'm nicotine free."
"And I love nicotine free vapes. Any zero nicotine vape doesn't hit, it just feels like you're breathing and it's like, 'What is this?' It feels pointless. But this thing really feels… It hits, it has the same effect. I also got hypnotherapy," the singer/rapper further elaborated. "And it worked, like immediately. I did it and then just didn't smoke after that, forever."
In May, Doja was caught vaping on the red carpet of this year's Met Gala despite Anna Wintour's strict rule against smoking. A video that went viral showed the "So High" femcee having a vape in her mouth and exhaling a cloud of smoke in the background of the Vogue livestream. She was seemingly waiting in line for her turn while Jennie of BLACKPINK got interviewed by a red carpet correspondent.
The raptress has since been slammed by Internet users for refusing to adhere to the Met Gala rule. "Can she like take something serious for once ? What happened to having class ?" someone wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "She probably not gonna be invited again after this," a second user opined.
