I read in an interview by TT, that she was caught smoking by her parents when she was 16. She says MPG taught her to smoke, and they smoked together when they worked! Does anyone know if MPG still smokes?

Yep, it's true. That was from an interview Tiffani made for the FHM magazine back in 2001. If you visit's Jess's site, www.thiessenpictures.com, I believe she has the article there. If not, then let me know, I can scan it for ya'll. Not sure if MPG still smokes. I don't think he does. Erika |

If anyone is interested I found this at: www.tiffani-thiessen.com/magazinefhmus.htmlWhat’s the worst thing your parents ever caught you doing? Smoking. How did that go down? Really badly. It was my mom and she was just so upset. I don’t think she’s forgiven me to this day. I was 16 and still living at home. I learned how to smoke from Mark-Paul Gosselaar on Saved by the Bell. He’s the one who taught me, and we smoked together. I think my mom knew we were smoking together when we were working, so I knew I couldn’t really lie myself out of it. Were you sent to your room? No, I just remember her getting really upset and then I think it was maybe two days later that I moved out. So even if she’d wanted to punish me, I don’t think she could have. But it’s all Mark-Paul’s fault. I blame it on him. For those you have`nt read the article, Bulldog5747 |

Yeah. But also remember, that was her character "Billie" smoking and not really Tiffani. "Billie" is a feisty young woman, who was once into drugs as well. I think I read somewhere she quit. I can't recall now exactly, however.

I remember in the article that was in the New York Times (I think) recently that she said that she had just quit smoking. I know I have read that she has quit smoking before so I have a feeling that she quits and then starts again, which is what a lot of people do.
Here is the article:
IT'S not often you catch a star like Tiffani Thiessen slaving over a hot
stove, so when it happens, people gawk. And it was exactly that
scenario - woman, meat, open flame - that visitors discovered on a
recent Tuesday night at Tao, the Asian fusion restaurant on East 58th
Street that doubles as a singles bar up front.
Ms. Thiessen was in no mood to be hit on. Instead, she had gone to Tao
for its Kobe beef, the Japanese delicacy that costs $12 an ounce and can
be precooked in the kitchen or cooked by the diners themselves at the
table.
"Who's in charge?" a waiter asked as he approached with a small ornate
grill and six ounces of red meat.
"I am," Ms. Thiessen said. "I've done this before."
Moments later, having cooked for the table, Ms. Thiessen, whose fan Web
sites insist she is a vegetarian, proved why one should be skeptical of
material posted online.
"I love to cook," Ms. Thiessen said. "It's sad because I don't have a
lot of time. Or friends."
The latter part of that statement is probably disingenuous, judging from
her numerous fan clubs, steadily ringing cellphone and the men sending
drinks to her table on this particular evening. "Raspberry Stoli," she
said, tasting one. "Not my favorite." (Note for future suitors: Ms.
Thiessen prefers Diet Coke and vanilla Stoli.)
Her time, however, was at a minimum. The former star of the television
programs "Saved by the Bell" and "Beverly Hills 90210" was in town to
promote "Fastlane," a new Fox cop-and-coiffure series, which recently
caused a minor stir when Ms. Thiessen's character, Lt. Wilhelmina
(Billie) Chambers, went undercover to track a murderer and ended up in a
passionate kiss with one of the female suspects. "It's amazing how many
people will tune in to see that," she said. (True indeed. The
girl-on-girl episode had the show's highest ratings.)
She had traveled to New York with her friend and personal hairdresser,
Dusty Simington, who looked a little like George Hamilton's younger
brother and was wearing a T-shirt that read, "I Vacation to Get Tan."
"Dude, it's cold here," Mr. Simington, 42, said. "I'm not worried about
terrorists. I'm worried about freezing to death."
Ms. Thiessen, who was wearing a lightweight Dolce & Gabbana jacket,
Seven jeans and a pashmina scarf, said, "I was not prepared for this."
The two have known each other since Ms. Thiessen's days as a beauty
pageant contestant in California with big dreams and bad hair. "She had
the Utah claw," Mr. Simington explained, describing bangs that shot up
toward the heavens. "But she was just as darling as she is today."
"I don't think it was that bad," she said of her former do.
"Trust me," he said. "It was."
Ms. Thiessen has better hair today, but retains the pretty round face
and blue eyes that helped make her a television star, as well as a
figure that gets her lots of play in lad magazines like Maxim, which
recently named her the world's 40th sexiest woman, just ahead of Rebecca
Romijn-Stamos (41) and gunning for Jacqueline Obradors (39). Eyeing the
dessert menu, Ms. Thiessen chatted about all kinds of food lusts, from
Mexican ("It's gooey, it's fattening and it's good") to chocolate ("I
kind of took up sugar for a while"). She has just quit smoking and has
been studying karate for eight years.
For dessert, Ms. Thiessen and Mr. Simington settled on a house
specialty: a giant fortune cookie stuffed with mousse and, of course, a
fortune. Ms. Thiessen cracked it open to discover this message. "It
says, `You need to make more time for romance,' " she said, with a
laugh. "Yeah, and pack warmer clothes, too."

SBTB never did a "no-smoking" episode to my knowledge. Of course, I can always be wrong.
They did do a reference to smoking during the "no drugs" episode. When Scud was in the bathroom smoking, Zack & Slater confront him of using pot when they find out, as Scud says, "it's only a cigaratte". Slater then says, "this stuff can kill you too, genius", or something to that effect.
