Mischa Barton quits smoking

Most Hollywood starlets take up smoking to keep the pounds off, but Mischa Barton has decided to quit smoking to put some pounds on. Barton decided to ditch the nasty habit as her New Year’s resolution and a more voluptuous figure is only a bonus to the plan.

A source told British gossip website, Female First, "Mischa wants to give up cigarettes because of the health issues, but also because she knows it will improve her figure. She's convinced she can stop smoking and get a little curvier, too, if she puts her mind to it.��?

In the past, Barton has confided that she doesn’t really measure up to her “OC��? co-star, Rachel Bilson when it comes to her bod. Perhaps her resolution is an attempt to become the sexiest girl in Newport Beach.

Mischa’s not the only one who has decided to leave the ciggies behind her in 2005. Lindsay Lohan is reportedly using a pill to stop smoking. Meanwhile, Britney Spears, who quit smoking after becoming pregnant with son, Sean Preston, has recently been spotted back to her old habit.
