Hillary Duff caused a bit of outrage among the health and wellness police that is the internet when she was photographed holding a cigarette only a few months after giving birth to her son, Luca.
But Duff has taken to Twitter to let the world know that it wasn't her cigarette -- she was holding it for a friend:
Yikes me holding a cigarette for my friend might have been a bad idea! pretty bummed about the photo.. Sorry guys, looks worst than it is!

So, yeah. It belonged to her friend. Just like that weed your mom found in your pocket in high school.
