Nik and Ash try and curb the cancer sticks

E! Online reports that Ashley Greene and Nikki Reed recognize the negative connotations that puffing their cancer sticks promote for younger viewers.

"Everyone on the cast smokes, and they are all trying to quit because they are on Twilight and know they are in the public eye," says a friend of Nikki. “[Ashley and Nikki] know they are role models for little kids. If there are a ton of paparazzi photos of them smoking, that's not a positive image."

Sources say that in order to help curb the habit, Ashley and Nikki are enlisting the help of SmokeStiks.
