The beautiful Brit singer, Joss Stone, made a bit of a fool of herself at a heart disease benefit this weekend when asked what she does to protect her heart.

Stone told the New York Daily News, “In England we smoked rolled cigarettes. It’s better to smoke rollies than straights because straights have chemicals that keep them burning. So if you have to really smoke, smoke rollies.”

That’s pretty much like using heroin to wean yourself off cocaine.

She and many other celebrities were at a New York Fashion Week bash on Saturday to help promote the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s (NHLBI) annual Heart Truth awareness campaign.

Obviously Ms. Stone opted out on studying up on the subject before she bothered speaking about it in public, no less.

And, as it turns out, a study done in 2006 had found that hand-rolled cigarettes, or rollies as Ms. Stone likes to put it, are actually more likely to cause lung and esophageal cancer than regular, pre-rolled cigarettes.

Joss Stone, more like Joss Stoned!
