Interviewer Harry Smith said that when he saw the photo, he asked himself, “How did Madonna react to that?”  “She wasn’t happy,” Madonna replied.  When Smith asked if Madonna is a “tough mom,” she admitted, “I think I am but honestly, I don’t think I’m as tough as I should be. I think I need to be, maybe, tougher. It’s hard, every day is a negotiation. But cigarette smoking, I’m not very fond of.  For anyone.”

When Smith pointed out that a recent video of Madonna shows her smoking a cigarette, she acted annoyed and said, “I don’t smoke! That’s just an accessory, Harry!  There’s a difference!”  Then she laughed and said Lourdes “smoked that cigarette before I did that video!  So she didn’t get that from me, ok?”
