Why can't Italian PM Meloni quit smoking? She gave a hilarious answer.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni made a humorous remark during the Gaza summit in Egypt. She said that if she had to quit smoking, she might kill someone.

This statement came after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan poked fun at her smoking habit. This lighthearted moment even made French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer laugh.

Meloni Reveals in Book About Cigarettes

Meloni recently revealed in a book that she quit smoking 13 years ago but has now resumed smoking. She jokingly said that this habit has helped her build relationships with many global leaders, such as Tunisian President Kais Saied.

What Did Erdogan Say?

At the summit, Turkish President Erdogan advised Meloni to quit smoking. He complimented her, saying that Meloni was very beautiful but should stop smoking. French President Macron laughed at this, saying it was impossible to force Meloni to quit smoking. Meloni responded in a light tone, "I don't want to kill anyone."

Trump Praises Meloni

US President Donald Trump also praised Meloni at the summit. Trump, who arrived after speaking in the Israeli parliament, said that calling a woman "beautiful" is politically risky these days, but he still described Meloni as "beautiful" and "amazing." He joked, "I think you like being called beautiful, don't you?"
