Drew Barrymore Quits Smoking


DREW BARRYMORE has given up cigarettes - with the help of habit- breaker YEFIM SHUBENTSOV.

Shubentsov has already helped BILLY JOEL and COURTENEY COX ARQUETTE quit smoking, and gave Barrymore a two-hour session from his home in Brookline, Massachusetts.

Barrymore had been smoking for eight years, but hasn't picked up a cigarette for three months. Shubentsov has no formal medical training, but employs "bio- energetics" which involves waving his hands over a client while exhaling loudly. (SVD/PE/MCM)
