| • | "Spice Girls singer Emma Bunton was sitting cosily with a few friends in a London restaurant, calmly dragging on a cigarette. But then a TV team who were present pulled out a camera - probably just as calmly. On the other hand, Emma didn't find that at all amusing and threatened the journalists with complaints and claims. After all, she had a good reputation to lose, she had a clean image which she didn't want to lose just because she was filmed smoking a cigarette. But Emma, a person who smokes a cigarette doesn't immediately lose his good image. Someone who behaves like that is more likely to run the risk of hitting the headlines. And that she has achieved. Well done!", Giga (Germany), Apr. 27, '01

Emma, who began smoking aged 13, gets through a packet of cigarettes a day, appeared in the technicolour poster campaign in 1993, when she was still a schoolgirl. According to the poster, Emma 'stinks like an ashtray'. In May, Bunton flew into a rage after a film crew caught her on camera smoking a packet of Benson & Hedges. She demanded that the crew handed over the film and screamed, 'Do you want me to sue you? Do you want me to take you to court? I have a clean-living image to protect and I don't want to be filmed smoking a cigarette'. Over the last year it has become increasingly common to see pictures of Emma in the press with a cigarette dangling from her mouth", World Entertainment News Network, Jul. 9, '01 |

| • | "Baby Spice likes to smoke and does so often. But as far as possible no one should see. She can even become aggressive towards cameramen that are too curious. 'She is a chain-smoker and was already puffing one after the other as a 13-year-old', claims the youth magazine Yam accusingly. Emma Bunton nevertheless wants to enhance her public image. Recently she even quite violently attacked a cameraman : 'Should I sue you? I'll take you to court!', she said according to Yam to the media representative who wanted to make her smoke-breaks public. 'I don't want to be filmed with a cigarette' is her guideline. But recently she has let herself be caught all too often with a fag", German website, Jul. 11, '01
