Up in Smoke

Spotted: Little J puffing on a cancer stick while strolling the Upper East Side.

As Gossip Girl's queen bee, Taylor Momsen has been involved in her fair share of scandals. From those awful raccoon eyes to her lack-of-clothing to her racy on-screen scenes, Momsen has received her fair share of flack.

But now, with a cigarette in hand, Momsen is raising heads for her underage smoking. Only a mere sweet-16er, Momsen is too young to fall victim to such an addictive and deadly habit.

"She has an extra responsibility to bear as an actress idolized by little girls out there," Patrick Reynolds, director of the Foundation for a Smoke-Free America. "...Smoking sends the wrong message to kids. Evidence shows that stars do influence kids to smoke."

Will this cause Little J's career to go up in smoke?
