P.S.

Without a doubt Laura Linney's best performance, the more I watched this movie the more I thought she was IRL, at least on a social basis. She smokes maybe four or five times with her first scene close up, with her trademark cheek-hollowing inhales, and decent exhales with improvement on the last one. A scene near the end of the movie with her and Marcia both smoking, I believe they both smoke two cigarettes nearly back-to-back. They also have an extended version of this scene.
Primal Fear

apparently smokes B&Hs throughout
The City of Your Final Destination

Lara has a wonderful drag and talk-exhale and later has more drags and exhales. Linney has one drag and partial exhale. Gainsbourg smokes a couple of times but the lighting is poor.
The Savages
smokingsides
although it has only two smoking scenes in it, they are both awesome and specially the second one (near the end) in which [Linney] takes a long deep drag and after a while she does an excellent exhale from mouth and nostrils along with a speaking exhale; definitly IRL, two thumbs up
You Can Count on Me
smokingsides
Linney smokes in three, maybe four scenes, and smokes well, with cheek-hollowing inhales, and visible exhales. She really seems to know what she's doing. Gaby Hoffman smokes in her one scene, and has a full inhale-exhale combination.
