A source, who claims to have spotted the star having a sly puff earlier this month, told the New York Post newspaper, "I saw Nicole come outof DaSilvano with a girlfriend and a middle aged lady. She looked around atthe outdoor tables, like she was checking to see who was there, and then litup. They drove off in a black Cadillac Escalade and Nicole was still smoking."
A few days later, Nicole, 26, was dining with fiance Joel Madden - thefather of her unborn child - at Nobu and as soon as they left she is said tohave lit up a cigarette.
