Smith once admitted in an interview with Essence magazine that she was once a heavy drug abuser. In response to the question "What's something that people would be surprised to know about you?", Smith said, "I used to do drugs every day...I used between the ages of 19 and 25." She confessed to having smoked "two packs of cigarettes a day", to having " [marijuana] every day" and to " [using] cocaine three times a week." She attributed her victory over drugs to "the grace of God". [3]

In an interview with EURweb.com, Smith also discussed her conversion from atheism to Christianity: "When I was 25 I had an encounter with God because my father had gotten sick. I had a time where I really challenged God, like, if you're really God you'll show me such-and-such'...I was going through this whole thing where I questioned whether God was real or not. I really needed God to be real because I was feeling so depressed and so unhappy, I felt like if there isn't a God [then] I have no reason to live...It was just a bad time in my life and God really showed up and met me where I was." She also pointed out that her newfound faith would not interfere in her acting career: "I don't think that roles challenge what I believe because I feel like as an actor I know who I am in God...Certain people may have issues with roles that I do that have profanity in [them] . But, as actors our job is portray humanity, all of humanity." [2]
