Ruby Rose has said she has given up smoking after having an operation on her back.
The Orange Is The New Black star will have to use a wheelchair and walk with a cane after the procedure.
So..For the past few years (decade) I’ve been dealing with a spine issue. I am now recovering from a back procedure, but I do need to stay active, so before I get seen with my cane and wheel chair in public, I’d rather put it out there that I’m fine and going to be fine. pic.twitter.com/7nVw5fIk3k
