Gerard Butler is trying hard not to smoke. It's been minutes since the Scottish-born actor's last cigarette, and he's determined to forego another for a little while longer. As he paces around the room, he spies a cup of coffee, which seems to stoke his nicotine urge. ''To hell with it,'' he says, lighting a Marlboro and swigging his coffee.
