Violet Affleck entered the stage at the United Nations (UN) to request clean air, and as her father Hollywood Star Ben Affleckstruggles with his smoking habits.
The 19-year-old Yale newcomer spoke to a KN95 mask on Tuesday in “Healthy Indoor Air: a global call to act” New York.
For over four minutes, Violet asked the governments to bring mask mandate back, invest in the cleaning infrastructure and “to recognize filtered air as human law as intuitively as filtered water”.
“We can create a clean air infrastructure that is so omnipresent and obviously necessary so that the children of tomorrow don’t even know why we need it.” Violet warned the delegates.

However, an expert with previous connections to Violet’s famous father suggested that her cleaning boost could be complicated by smoking.
“Violet will never be satisfied with the air and she is a very sensitive girl.” Rocky rosesA coach with smoking cessation in Los Angeles told Fox News Digital. “She wants clean air, but also wants dad to be healthy. Violet feels powerless when her father gives up cigarettes.”
Violet is the oldest daughter of Affleck, 53, and his ex-wife, actress Jennifer Garner, 53. The couple, who divorced after more than a decade in 2018, also shared Seraphina (15) and Samuel, 12.

Affleck has reportedly wrestled with nicotine addiction for decades, also as a violet campaigns for healthier air.
He was photographed in public, including an example, in which he pulled his mask down at the peak of the pandemic to illuminate it.
“Smokers like Ben are afraid of two things. He is probably afraid that he can’t stop. He is probably afraid that he will stop,” said Rosen. “Bens very environmentally friendly concern, but with regard to the cigarettes they only have control over him.”

Rosen emphasized that the actor tries to be careful with others.
“Her father does not smoke near her. I am sure, as in the pictures that he smokes, he is alone. So he is considerate about the air around him when he smokes and does not want someone to be exposed to his second -hand smoke,” he added.
Fox News Digital has contacted the Affleck family to get a comment.
