Miley Cyrus may be on her way to becoming the unofficial spokesperson for marijuana, but when it comes to cigarettes, Cyrus has said "good-bye" to smoking.

On Monday, Cyrus took to Twitter where she revealed to fans that she has gone two months without smoking a cigarette.

"2 months no cigs #proudofmyself," she wrote. And judging by all of the favorites (more than 76,000) and re-tweets (more than 22,000), her fans are proud of her as well.

However, this does not mean that Cyrus is also kicking her weed habit. In fact, in recent months, Cyrus has been gushing about how much she loves the drug.

In the March 2014 issue of W Magzaine, Cyrus explained, "I love weed. I just love getting stoned. I just want it to be back to where it's, like, organic, good weed."

Last month, Cyrus tweeted a photo, which included the message, "Everyone is in a relationship, getting married or having babies. And I'm just over here like 'I love weed.'"

In September, Cyrus told Rolling Stone she "think(s) weed is the best drug on earth."

"Hollywood is a coke town, but weed is so much better. And molly, too. Those are happy drugs—social drugs," she said. "They make you want to be with friends. You're out in the open. You're not in a bathroom. I really don't like coke. It's so gross and so dark. It's like what are you, from the '90s? Ew."

Months earlier, in a separate interview with Rolling Stone, Cyrus professed that weed, although a drug, doesn't have the negative impact as that of alcohol.

"Alcohol is way more dangerous than marijuana. People can be mad at me for saying that, but I don't care. I've seen a lot of people spiral down with alcohol, but I've never seen that happen with weed," she explained. "As long as it isn't illegal, there are far more dangerous things and it's legal in the state of California. So I'm happy to live in California, a place where you can be whoever you want to be."

Marijuana is typically used for its psychoactive and physiological effects, which include heightened mood, relaxation, and an increase in appetite, but it has also been used to reduce nausea and vomiting in chemotherapy and people with AIDS.

However, users may experience negative side effects, as well. These including decrease in short-term memory, dry mouth, impaired motor skills, paranoia and anxiety. There have even been reports of an "increased risk of developing schizophrenia with adolescent use."

In 2004, the United Nations estimated that approximately 4% of the adult world population smoked marijuana annually, and that approximately 0.6% used the drug daily.
