Kendall And Bella Promoting The Dangerous Habit

An association between cigarettes and sexiness and rebellion is still alive and well.The most followed stars of Instagram Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid posted a pic on their Instagram with cigarettes in Hand, and the caption read they don't smoke. If they don't smoke why ere they holding it? What message they are giving to their million fans?

What makes it even more confusing is the fact that Kendall has stated in the past that she's adamantly against smoking. "I've never smoked a cigarette, and I never will," she wrote in a blog post on her app in 2015 as reported by Allure. "Everyone smokes in my industry, and I get super grossed out. It's so disgusting and I'm SO against it."

The models may not have complete control over every shoot they participate in, but they *do* have control over the photos they share with their nearly 100 million combined followers. It's undeniable that young people today put tremendous value in what their favorite celebrity posts to Instagram, taking cues from them to craft their own idea of what it means to be "sexy."
