The ads helped make her a high-fashion celebrity and one of the top models of the 1990s. In December of 2000 Turlington announced she had been diagnosed with early-stage emphysema, the result of a former cigarette habit, and since then she has been a spokeswoman for the Center for Disease Control's Tobacco Information and Prevention Source.
