Chrissy Teigen, renowned cookbook author and television personality, recently announced a significant milestone in her journey to quit smoking. During an interview with Access Hollywood at the 2025 Oscars Vanity Fair red carpet on March 2, Teigen revealed her latest triumph over addiction. The 39-year-old mother of four shared that she was "furiously chewing Nicotine gum" to help curb her smoking habit, which she has been working diligently to quit "for the last time."
Teigen's efforts to lead a healthier lifestyle are not new. She has been candid about her struggles with addiction, including a previous decision to become sober, which she publicly celebrated with various milestones over the years. In 2022, Teigen marked one year without alcohol with a heartfelt Instagram post, expressing how "really good" she felt about the change.
