it still lacks continuity bcs in one scene the cig is in her mouth and one second later it's gone, i've noticed it at least two times 

It's in the last chorus, we don't see her take the cig from her mouth but it's between her fingers. And soon after it's gone, but tbh it doesn't really break continuity because she could easily move it between the shots.

Come on guys, did you really think they'd allow real cigarettes on set?

Of course they would, it’s Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars

y'all, prop cigarettes like the ones she's used are NOT better for health, they just lack nicotine

Honestly she spilled about cigarette continuity being important

I hate it so much when I'm watching a movie and the character's cigarette changes length in every shot 

The length might be ok but switching between cigarette in hand<> mouth has some continuith errors

I knew it, I wasn't just being naive. I thought the smoke didn't come out like a regular cigarette.

What exactly do they contain? I thought they were basically a collection of herbs. Not sure I was really aware how they work but surely they can't contain tobacco or anything harmful because the whole purpose of them being fake is that they're not real and are used by non-smoking actors to give the illusion that they're smoking as a safe alternative. If they're real cigarettes, why are they even called fake or props?

Smoke is never good for your lungs, regardless if it's tobacco or herbs. If she inhales the smoke from the prop cigars the benefit of using prop cigars goes out of the windows because the smoke will still reach lungs and do damage.

In fact, if I was an actor I'd rather smoke normal tobacco because we KNOW all the risks, with props cigars there's still much debate going on about the veracity of them doing less harm.

The only good thing I can say about prop cigars is the lack of nicotine, that's good for past smokers who can't inhale nicotine fearing a relapse.

I like to pretend she just spat it out
