LPGA golfer Charley Hull has revealed that at the peak of her nicotine habit, she was smoking as many as 40 cigarettes per day. Hull, who has been compared to fellow golfer John Daly for her past smoking, shared the details in a recent podcast.
"I was very stressed at the time," Hull said, explaining the circumstances that led to her high daily cigarette consumption. John Daly, in 2014, also disclosed smoking up to 40 cigarettes daily, along with consuming a large quantity of Diet Coke.
Hull stated that she decided to quit smoking abruptly while on the golf course. She reportedly made a $10,000 bet with friends that she would not smoke for two months, and she has not smoked since.
