Madonna is admitting that she needs to be a tougher mom.

While appearing on The Today Show, the "Girl Gone Wild" singer discussed her thoughts after seeing a photo of 15-year-old daughter Lourdes smoking.

Madge told NBC's Harry Smith:

    "(I) wasn't very happy, but honestly, I don't think I'm as tough as I should be. I think I need to be maybe tougher. It's hard -- every day is a negotiation. But cigarette smoking I'm not very fond of -- for anyone."


Smith then brought up the fact that Madonna is seeing smoking in her music video.

She adds, "I don't smoke. That's just an accessory, Harry. There's a difference. (Lourdes) smoked that cigarette before I did that video!"
