Q: Did you cry? Cox: Yeah, I cried. I was in shock. Then I said, "David, you mean I can't smoke?" You see, we had just gone to a hypnotist together to stop smoking and I was so nervous when he proposed that I wanted a cigarette. Q: How long had you been smoking and how many packs a day? Cox: I'd been smoking since I was 13. Never over one-and-a-half packs, but for sure one. When I dated Michael Keaton he didn't smoke, so I snuck for about four years in that relationship. Q: Ever get the urge to fire up again? Cox: I want to smoke right now. It hurts. -Movieline, Dec./Jan. 2000, p. 58
