The Iron Man star gave up the habit when she fell pregnant with daughter, Apple, by husband Chris Martin, in 2003. And Paltrow is adamant that although she hates the health effects of cigarettes, she would happily go back to the habit if she could.

She tells British Elle magazine, "I miss it. The last cigarette I smoked was the day I found out I was pregnant with Apple. I had to sit down and smoke one final cigarette. It's such a beautiful thing. I'm so p**sed off it gives you cancer. Cigarettes were my upper, they were my downer. I would think with them, write with them. I just love them so much. But then, once you have children, if you've witnessed a death like I did with my father, you just can't."

"But I've decided that when I'm about 70 I'm going to start smoking again. Why not? I can't wait!'"
