              •  "I hate smoking, it stinks- it makes your breath smell, your hair smell and your clothes smell. Even if you dont have any consideration for others.

Nice thought eh?", website, c. '01
              •  "Sporty Spice Mel C has helped launch a new campaign for two cancer charities to stop children taking up smoking. Experts say around 450 young people in the UK, even nine year olds, start smoking every day. As well as being anti-social, Sporty explained how smoking can damage health: 'As far as I'm concerned, it's like playing Russian Roulette with your life.' Professor Gordon McVie from the Cancer Research Campaign, said: 'It's great to have the support of Mel C who is idolised by thousands of young girls.' He added, 'Smoking among teenage girls is rife and we need help to drum the message home that it is not fun, not cool, and not glamorous.' Mel is also asking smokers to hand in their clean ashtrays so they can be recycled and made into a sculpture as part of the Cancer Research Campaign and Imperial Cancer Research Fund campaign.", CBBC, Jan. 5, '02

The project is being carried out in collaboration with Cartoon Network and Mel declares, 'I'd rather kiss a baboon's bottom than a smoker. ... I think it's important to teach youngsters the perils of smoking and if I can help get this message across, then I am only too pleased to do so'", World Entertainment News Network, May 23, '01
              •  no - "Mel C is trying to get kids to stop smoking - by offering them a free poster of herself. Healthy Mel is the patron of Britain's Stamp Out Smoking day in June.
