Smoking is detrimental to health. They write about this on packs of cigarettes and on various posters, but more often than not, such anti-advertising does not work for heavy smokers who really enjoy smoking and blowing puffs of smoke, thinking about something of their own. Many brilliant people were ruined by the love of nicotine, and we decided to make a photo-list of Russian actors and actresses who died from smoking.
Alexander Abdulov
- "The same Munchausen", "Formula of love", "An ordinary miracle", "The Master and Margarita"
The popularly beloved actor later experienced the happiness of fatherhood - less than a year before his death, Alexander had a daughter, Eugene. In the same year, 2007, Abdulov was overcome by illness. First, he was urgently operated on with a perforated ulcer, and later began to complain of pain in the heart. Alexander was getting worse, and it was decided to be examined in one of the Israeli clinics. There, the actor was given a terrible diagnosis - lung cancer, the last fourth degree. The doctors were unanimous in their opinion that the oncology was provoked by Abdulov's many years of smoking. The actor was a heavy smoker and asked for a smoke, even knowing about his terrible diagnosis. When Alexander died, his daughter was only nine months old.
Oleg Yankovsky
- "Shield and Sword", "Two Comrades Served", "Mirror", "My Affectionate and Gentle Beast"
The first bell that it was time to tie up with nicotine addiction should have been for Yankovsky the diagnosis of ischemic disease, but the actor simply gave up on the problem. Despite the completed course of treatment, the actor was getting worse. In addition to heaviness in the heart, Yankovsky began to complain of severe pain in the stomach. Although unpleasant sensations tormented Yankovsky, they did not make him go to the doctor in time. The belated diagnosis was fatal - the actor was diagnosed with the fourth stage of pancreatic cancer. Doctors unanimously argued that such a development of events could have been avoided if not for smoking.
Anna Samokhina
- "Don Cesar de Bazan", "Prisoner of the Château d'If", "Tartuffe", "Black Raven"
Anna smoked for many years, although she realized the harm of cigarettes. Many friends remember that they could not imagine Samokhin without the usual cup of coffee and a cigarette. It was this combination, according to doctors, that caused such an early death of the actress. Anna died at the age of forty-seven from the last stage of stomach cancer.
Ilya Oleinikov
- "Trembita", "Gorodok", "The Master and Margarita", "A Thin Thing"
The comedian, remembered by the audience primarily thanks to the domestic project "Gorodok", could have lived for many more years. This is exactly what the doctors who examined Oleinikov think. Addiction to tobacco killed the actor. He had huge lung and heart problems. Inflammation of the lungs, which a non-smoker can tolerate without consequences, became fatal for Oleinikov. At the time of his death, the actor was 65 years old.
Rolan Bykov
- "For family reasons", "12 chairs", "Big Break", "Letters from a Dead Man"
Rolan Bykov smoked a huge number of cigarettes a day. He was not at all stopped by the fact that his family had a predisposition to pulmonary diseases. The male half of the family in most cases died of lung cancer. The same fate befell Roland. Doctors tried to fight for the life of the actor, but in vain - immediately after removing the tumor from the lungs, Bykov lit a cigarette. He understood that this increased the chance of relapse, but he could not help himself.
Andrey Mironov
- "The Diamond Hand", "Straw Hat", "Crazy Day, or The Marriage of Figaro", "The Man from Boulevard des Capuchins"
Andrei Mironov won the hearts of domestic audiences from his very first roles. The actor who lives each character and passes it through himself could not do without doping. That is why the actor constantly smoked. The bad habit was aggravated at the moments when the artist worried or overloaded himself with work. Mironov died at the age of 46 right on the stage from a stroke. Cigarettes played an important role in such an early death of the talented actor.
Oleg Efremov
- "Beware of the Car", "Three Poplars on Plyushchikha", "Shirley-Myrli", "Cabal of the Saints"
The photo-list of actors and actresses who died from smoking, compiled by us, is completed by the great Soviet and Russian actor Oleg Efremov. He did everything in his life seriously: if he played, then at full strength, if he drank, then he drank to victory, if he smoked, then as much as he could. He was not at all shy about his bad habits and was just himself. His love for cigarettes was so strong that he smoked even after major lung surgery. In old age, Efremov Sr.doctors diagnosed pulmonary emphysema, but even being with an oxygen machine that supported his life, the actor continued to smoke.
