I'm so confused. It looks like she is smoking a toothbrush.
She had a cigarette holder like those: http://www.theladysmokes.com/cigaretteholders.html
It's not a cigarette holder. She's smoking from a Hookah. I've seen Ovie and Semin smoke that too.
But it does look like cigarette holder though. Hookahs are a lot bigger, just look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hookah
From Wikipedia:
Hookahs are also becoming increasingly popular in Moscow and other Russian cities. Many bars employ a "hookah man" or "niam" which is commonly pronounced "ni-eem" (Russian: кальянщик, tr. kal'yanshchik), often of middle-eastern appearance and wearing an approximation of Arab or Turkish costume, to bring the pipes to customers' tables and wrappings may be provided to each person at the table for hygiene reasons.
Hookah is very tasty and it isn't too dangerous for the lung, as the smoke is being filtered by the water.

Ovie and Semin Hookah.
Semin also seems to smoke cigarettes, but many players in the league do.

I'd rather Alex and Sasha had healthy, tobacco-free lives. I want them to be in good physical condition for a long time and tobacco use is one thing they have control over.
I totally agree
