The initial shock, that Anna was a smoker was no longer. In part two I failed to mention that Anna Dad Sergei is also a smoker, so it really wasn't any surprise that once her tennis career ended Anna was eventually going to be outed as a smoker too. The rest of 2004 was pretty quite in terms of smoking reports regarding the former tennis player, in fact there was none. One may have thought perhaps Anna may have decided to go back into hiding or even the unthinkable she had quit.
In January 2005 Anna didn't let down those people who love the fact she is a smoker. While holidaying in St Barthelemy, Anna was caught on camera lighting up a Marlboro light in a bikini, however it wasn't the only time she was caught smoking. Anna was dragging on a cigarette while talking on her mobile and holding a cigarette while talking with friends. A sure indication that Anna's smoking habit was still going strong and no sign of her giving up any time soon.
