Madonna did an interview that will air on tonight’s episode of Rock Center on NBC. The iconic singer was asked about the photos that feature her 15 year-old daughter Lourdes Leon smoking cigarettes. Naturally, Madonna doesn’t want her daughter to smoke, but she also defends herself when asked why she’s smoking in her latest video.

“I don’t approve of anyone smoking cigarettes, most of all, my daughter.”

When asked why she’s seen smoking in her Girl Gone Wild video, she gives the perfect politically correct answer! “I don’t smoke, that’s just an accessory. She smoked that cigarette before I did that video, so she didn’t get that from me.” Clever!

When asked about her parenting style, she confessed: “I think I am [a tough mom] but I don’t think I’m as tough as I should be. I think maybe I should be tougher but it’s hard.”
