15. Charlize Theron

The gorgeous South Africa-born actress reportedly struggled with cigarettes for years before finally freeing herself from them with the help of hypnosis.

Charlize Theron, best known for her Academy Award-winning performance in Monster, but also for Mad Max:Fury Road, The Mighty Joe Young, The Cider House Rules and The Devil’s Advocate said she was never a normal smoker. She smoked so much, sometimes up to three packs a day (mind you, that’s sixty cigarettes!) as if her plan was to actually kill herself. With that amount of cigarettes, it’s a wonder she didn’t.

Theron said she tried pretty much every tobacco-quitting method before she finally decided to give hypnosis a shot. She used the same hypnotherapists some other Hollywood celebs, including Debra Messing and Paul Rudd. It’s unclear, however, if the method really worked, since she was spotted smoking on the set of her new movie Dark Places.
