[3] Picket Fences ran for four years, winning Combs critical acclaim and a Young Artist award. [1][2]

In an article in ePregnancy Magazine, Combs admits she had been smoking from the age of fifteen whenever she was nervous. [7] That changed as soon as she found out about her pregnancy with first child, Finley Arthur, when she decided to immediately stop:
| “ | To [stop smoking] was actually really easy because I had already started to cut down. My husband is asthmatic, and he just can't for the life of him imagine why anybody would put smoke in their mouth, so he really helped me to start cutting down. . . . Then when I got pregnant the smell of other people's cigarette smoke was so heinous to me that it made me not want to have a cigarette ever again. It's kind of like cheating [when] it's so easy to quit because you can't take the smell! | ” |
