Cancer-stricken superstar Angelina Jolie faces new fears after she was caught smoking!
The stick-thin actress, 39, has already endured a preventive double mastectomy to slash her cancer risk, but she triggered alarms when she was recently snapped puffing away.
“This is the worst thing ever for Angelina!” said a source close to the actress-turned-director. “It means she’s fallen back on her old ways. “She’s lost more weight, she’s burning the candle at both ends and she’s smoking! That’s a very bad sign.”
With hubby Brad Pitt nearby, the mother of six was snapped with a cigarette in her hand on her hotel balcony before her film “Unbroken” premiered in Sydney, Australia, on Nov. 17. Dr. Stuart Fischer, who practices internal medicine in New York City, told The National ENQUIRER: “Smoking is a risk factor for numerous lung and heart diseases, including cancer of the mouth and emphysema , windpipe, esophagus, pancreas and bladder – tumors that are possible even after Angelina’s surgery.
“Smoking also causes emphysema, strokes, heart attacks and chronic lung disease.
“For someone trying to prevent cancer, cigarette smoking is a form of self-deception and hypocrisy.” Celebrity nutritionist Lisa DeFazio added, “Angelina is putting a lot of stress on her already frail body. Being underweight makes her more vulnerable to getting sick, and smoking puts more strain on her heart.” Neither Dr. Fischer nor Lisa have treated Angelina.
As The ENQUIRER reported, the globetrotting star was near collapse when she landed in London on Oct. 10 before an audience with Queen Elizabeth, sources said. She’d jetted into the British capital from Malta, and now friends worry she will land in the hospital if she doesn’t slow down.
“Angie is drained,” said an insider. “She’s been going nonstop for almost the entire year. “Angelina is pushing herself to the limit – and beyond!”
