Jackie Kennedy had a three-pack-a-day habit that lasted for over forty years. Photographs of her smoking (or getting ready to) exist but they are extremely rare. One of the reasons was her prerogative as First Lady. If she told people not to take a photo, then no photographs were taken. She also made sure that people didn't refer to her habit in print, either.Those who knew her, though, were well aware of her habit. Lyndon Johnson, for example, always made sure that the LBJ Ranch was well-stocked with Salems -- Mrs. Kennedy's brand of choice -- whenever she visited.

After she married Aristotle Onassis, Jackie became a bit less protective of her image, but she still smoked, often with the aid of a cigarette holder.

She only quit at the request of her daughter Caroline, after having been diagnosed in early 1994 with non-Hodgkins' lymphoma. Sadly, it was too little too late. She died in May 1994 at age 64.
