“I’m just furiously chewing Nicotine gum. Don’t smoke. Smoking’s bad, just stop now if you can,” Teigen, 39, told the camera while speaking with Access Hollywood alongside her husband John Legend. “I’ve been an on-and-off smoker for too long, and I’ve stopped for the last time.”
“I’m very proud of myself but I’m also extremely on edge,” she continued as Legend added, “Stop before you start!”
The couple shares Luna, 8, Miles, 6, Esti, 2, and Wren, 20 months.
Teigen is one of many stars who have spoken out about their decision to quit smoking. Lady Gaga, Prince Harry, and Adele are just a few celebrities who have made the choice to ditch the habit.
Meanwhile, Teigen’s interview comes three years after she marked a milestone in her sobriety journey, revealing that she had been sober for six months.

In January 2022, the cookbook author shared a post on Instagram, in which she celebrated “6 months no alcohol!”
“Honestly kind of sucks saying it because even though I don’t ever crave it now, time has not exactly flown by haha,” Teigen wrote at the time. “I prob won’t be excited til a larger milestone like at leasssst 5 years, and sometimes I don’t even know if I necessarily won’t ever drink again?”
“I have no idea what I’m doing honestly, but I do know a few things: I now have endless energy, way less anxiety (no more benzos!) and I am *happier* and more present than ever. It’s pretty cool,” she added. “I look forward to having my full body reset after 1 year, then reevaluating to see my new hopes and wishes for the future! Let’s goooo.”
Teigen had originally recommitted to her sobriety — she tried once in 2017 but ultimately slipped back into drinking — in December 2020 after she received the book “Quit Like a Woman” by Holly Whitaker for her 35th birthday.
