Based on her present raspy voice,I assume Priscilla was and still is a full time cigarette smoker.I find this to be a total turn on and wish she would have smoked on screen as well as off screen.
Not that I wish poor health on her,but I just find it attractive when woman smoke.Does anyone know if she is a current smoker?

Attractive? What's so attractive about someone who smells like an ashtray? Who most likely has that irritating smoker's cough?
I definitely prefer women who don't smoke- especially since I'm the athletic and health-concious type.

Anyway, too bad you didn't ask this question a few weeks ago when I was at the autograph show in which Priscilla was at.

Let's hope she doesn't- don't want to see her get lung (or throat) cancer.

I agree with you. I myself, used to be a smoker, and I find that it's costly, it makes you clothes and hair smell, your teeth yellow, not to mention, all the health problems that come along with it (years down the road). I look at it this way, you need food to survive, not cigaretts.
And let's not forget all the celebrities who've died from cigarette smoking like John Candy, Johnny Carson, and many others. Still think smoking is attractive?

I hope that she isn't or at least stops.The reason I can't find an attractive girl to go after in college is that every girl I see on campus is smoking(or is already dating somebody).One thing I don't want is a girlfriend that smokes

John and Joyce used to smoke too but they quit together :)

Good for them both.:)

I really hope she quit, BUT I have to admit when I met her at the autograph show back in January, every few hours she would "claim" she's going to the bathroom. But I think she was just going outside to smoke, but she didn't wanna tell us that. You know I would never talk bad on her or make anything up, but it was kinda obvious, sorry to say :(

Yeah, I forgot about the cost. Back around 1970, a carton of cigarettes cost $7.00. What is it now? $35.00?

I often wonder how many celebrities would have made it to 80 or 90 years old if they never smoked. You know, celebs like Desi Arnaz & Lucy, John Wayne, Robert Taylor, Clark Gable, Bob Denver, Fred Gwynne, etc.

She asked me to "mind the store" while she went to the restroom at the autograph show a few weeks ago. She was only gone about 3 minutes- not really long enough to smoke. And I didn't smell any smoke when she posed with me. So hopefully she really did quit.

One thing I don't want is a girlfriend that smokes
I don't blame you. It's a (bad) habit which is best to avoid.

i cant believe both of them smoked. they dont look like smokers...

I couldn't believe it either until I saw the part in the book where Paul Ainsley ( the guy who played Jim the Bartender ) mentioned how John and Joyce smoked and quit before TC ended.

You are one lucky guy chain gang.To be in the presence of so many hot smoking college is a privelage,and I think you should consider possibly dating one of these girls.
If Priscilla were a young college student would you date her?

UHHHHHH...I guess if she was smoking but I talked her into stopping to smoke,then yeah

If Priscilla were a young college student would you date her?

Hell, yeah! If it means of her not smoking then that's a plus! I'm an asthmatic and I know that smoking is very harmful and costly. Not to mention that even second-hand smkoe is just as lethal.

As Fleet mentioned those celebs (Dsei Arnaz, Lucille Ball, Garry Moore, John Wayne, Bob Denver, Selma Diamond) that did long-time smoking could of lived longer, well I noticed that in the '50s and early '60s, there was a lot of smoking going around during those time periods and even cigarette ads going off and about.

I'm happy to be a non-smoking asthmatic! :)

Cigarettes are cheap in America!! They're like £47 for a carton in England! (That's like $70+). GROSS!

To tell you the truth,I would find her VERRRRY attractive and fall for her.Then after going out with her for a while and I found out that she smoked,I would tell her that I would like it if she'd quit smoking because I really care about her and believe that she would be with me as long as possible.She would be in tears of joy after finding out how much I care about her that she would quit smoking,thank me for it and we'd live happily ever after:D

I'm wondering if Priscilla Barnes quit smoking cigarettes at some point in the years since the last post on this thread, or does she still smoke cigarettes as she nears age 70? I'm guessing/hoping she had to quit smoking before she started recurring on Jane the Virgin. If Ms. Barnes really is still a smoker, then that'd be enough to worry about Ms. Barnes and be afraid for her future.:(

By chance, I was the other night, watching the Kevin Smith movie Mallrats, and Priscilla Barnes (https://web.archive.org/web/20230714211526/http://smokingsides.com/asfs/B/Barnes.html) just so happened to show up. Her role in the movie really has to be seen to be believed, but I did catch her taking a drag off of a cigarette at the start of her scene.
