Kate moss to quit smoking for pregnancy

Supermodel and beauty ;Kate Moss is rumoured to be having yet another go at quitting smoking after having already failed on several occasions. The leggy star has even gone as far as to say that smoking was part of who she is, ultimately resigning herself to being a smoker.

However, this is said to be changing in preparation for pregnancy and Kate claims she will be attending hypnotherapy sessions to help deal with the emotional attachment that people can have with nicotine.

Moss already has a daughter but her lover, Jamie Hince; lead guitarist of is reported to want a family of his own. She is also said to be cutting down on her alcohol intake to ensure she is in the best possible health for getting pregnant.

Such treatments have been shown to help people kick start their quit smoking programmes.
