Salma Hayek's mother is fuming.

It has nothing to do with the revealing gown Hayek wore to the Los Angeles premiere of Fools Rush In.

Nor did mama disapprove of Salma's date, ladies' man David Arquette.

It's that enormous cigar Hayek was puffing on.

"My mother thinks I should have kept my smoking a secret," admits Hayek.

"I've been smoking cigars for seven years now. I find them absolutely delicious.

"My mom keeps reminding me that they cause cancer and make my breath and hair smell but it's my one real vice and I'm not prepared to give it up."
