Reports have suggested that the supermodel Kate Moss is trying to quit smoking in an attempt to get pregnant. Moss, who is in a relationship with The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince, has apparently agreed to see a hypnotherapist in an attempt to clean up her lifestyle.
The model already has one daughter with magazine impresario Jefferson Hack, named Lila. However sources suggest that her new partner is keen to start a family so she is eager to conquer her vices before falling pregnant.
Moss has always been an unashamed smoker, frequently pictured coming out of parties with a Marlborough between her fingers. Recently pictures showing her to be developing fairly extensive wrinkles about the mouth (which led some magazine editors to compare her to the considerably older Gillian Taylforth) indicated that her heavy habit and love of parties and late nights are taking their toll, though others came out to champion her, saying she was ageing naturally.
A friend told The Sun that Kate is aware that she smokes heavily, hence her visit to the hypnotherapist.
Kate is not the only celeb to try hypnotherapy to stop smoking – Prince Harry apparently used Paul McKenna’s hypnotherapy program to give up.
The source said that Lila wants a sibling and Jamie is ready for parenthood, so now that Kate has come round to the idea she is trying to cut out her bad habits.
Though this does beg the question, surely with a child already if Kate believes to be a good parent she needs to give up the drink and the cigs, she should have done so when she first got pregnant?
