Stop Smoking: Chrissy Teigen’s Final Commitment

During an enlightening interview with Access Hollywood at the prestigious 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, the celebrated former model revealed her powerful decision to quit smoking cigarettes “for the last time” after a long struggle with the addiction. Teigen’s candidness about her experience serves as an inspiration for many who may find themselves in similar situations.

“I am just furiously chewing nicotine gum. Don’t smoke. Smoking is unhealthy, just stop now if you can,” Teigen, 39, candidly advised the audience while conversing with Access Hollywood alongside her husband John Legend. “I’ve been an on-and-off smoker for far too long, and I’ve truly stopped for the last time.” This powerful statement emphasizes her commitment to a healthier lifestyle and serves as a motivation for others battling similar addictions.

“I am very pleased with myself, but I am also extremely on edge,” she continued, as Legend chimed in with supportive advice, “Stop before you start!” Their heartfelt exchange highlights the importance of encouragement and support in overcoming addiction and making healthier choices.

The couple shares a beautiful family with their children Luna, 8, Miles, 6, Esti, 2, and Wren, 20 months, showcasing their commitment not only to each other but also to raising a healthy family environment.

Teigen is among a growing number of celebrities who have publicly shared their decision to quit smoking. Other notable figures include Lady Gaga, Prince Harry, and Adele, all of whom have made the courageous choice to abandon this harmful habit for a healthier lifestyle.

Teigen’s revealing interview comes three years after she celebrated a significant milestone in her journey toward sobriety, where she disclosed that she had been sober for six months. This highlights her ongoing commitment to personal growth and well-being.

In January 2022, the renowned cookbook author joyfully shared a post on Instagram, celebrating “6 months no alcohol!” This announcement not only marked her progress in sobriety but also inspired countless fans to embark on their own journeys toward healthier choices.

“It really kind of sucks saying it because even though I don’t ever crave it now, time has not exactly flown by haha,” Teigen expressed at the time. “I probably won’t be excited until a larger milestone like at least 5 years, and sometimes I don’t even know if I necessarily won’t ever drink again?” This reflection shows her thoughtful approach towards sobriety and the challenges that accompany it.

“I don’t know what I’m doing really, but I do know a couple of things: I now have endless energy, much less anxiety (no more benzos!) and I’m *happier* and more present than ever. It’s pretty cool,” she added. “I look forward to having my full body reset after 1 year and then reevaluating to see my new hopes and dreams for the future! Let’s goooo.” This optimistic outlook reveals Teigen’s determination and enthusiasm for embracing a healthier lifestyle.

Teigen had initially recommitted to her sobriety — a journey she first attempted in 2017 before slipping back into drinking — in December 2020 after receiving the book “Quit Like a Woman” by Holly Whitaker for her 35th birthday. This pivotal moment marked a renewed commitment to her health and well-being.
