You must know who Marilyn Monroe is, but you may not know the answer to the following question: Does Marilyn Monroe smoke?
[Picture 1] Marilyn Monroe is holding a guitar with a smile on her face and a cigarette in her right hand.
Although rare, there are indeed some photos of Monroe smoking on the Internet. These photos span the entire 50s and 60s. Some people infer from this that Monroe is a social smoker, that is, she only smokes in social situations. Others think that she smokes only for taking photos or movies, arranged by the photographer or director, and for work. Others believe that she has been smoking most of her adult life, but it may be intermittent. So, what is the truth?

Actually, in the 1950s and 1960s, smoking was a very common phenomenon in the United States, almost to the point where everyone smoked. In those days, people not only didn't know how dangerous smoking was, but they also got the doctor's approval. It was not until 1966 that the warning label "smoking is harmful to health" appeared on cigarette packages, and it would take longer to truly understand the harms of smoking.

Judging from the rare old photos that have been circulated, it seems that Monroe smoking does not happen occasionally. Because there are not only posing photos, but also some secret photos. Both her second and third husbands smoked, and it was almost impossible for her to remain unaffected by smoking so common in society at the time. Moreover, she herself probably didn't know that smoking is harmful to her health.

Monroe in the movies "Right Cross" (1950), "Waterfall Rage" (Niagara, 1953) and "The Seven Year Itch" (The Seven Year Itch, 1955) , There have been scenes of smoking. However, the first time she smoked while filming a movie was when she auditioned for "The King Kong". She lit a cigarette at that time, and then went out again. In addition, she has posed for smoking on the cover of at least one magazine.

After Monroe passed away mysteriously, in the circulated photos, there seemed to be a pack of cigarettes and a pile of matches on the bedside table in her bedroom. In 1999, some of Monroe's personal belongings were auctioned off. Including 8 ashtrays, the final auction price was $8,000.
Nowadays, the concept of "smoking is harmful to health" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so many celebrities who smoke also pay special attention to maintaining their image and try to avoid smoking in public. But having said that, both at home and abroad, can you find out which celebrity can be like Marilyn Monroe, even if he smokes a cigarette? (Text/Something about world history)
