Miley Cyrus says smoking bong was a bad decision

Singer and actress Miley Cyrus has admitted that smoking a bong was a 'bad decision' because it has disappointed her fans.

The pop star's comments are published just days after she was voted the celebrity with the worst influence on teens in a survey of youngsters for the second year in a row, reports the Daily Mail.

A video of the 18-year-old smoking a bong allegedly filled with the herb salvia was posted on the Internet in December.

Speaking about the incident Cyrus tells US Marie Claire:  “I'm not perfect...I made a mistake...I'm disappointed in myself for disappointing my fans...”

When reminded that her actions were no different to thousands of American 18-year-olds who smoke bongs, the Disney star says: 'But they're not Miley Cyrus. They're not role models.

“So for me it was a bad decision, because of my fans and because of what I stand for,” she added.
