New York, Feb 10 : Teenaged star Miley Cyrus admits she regrets smoking salvia in a bong, saying she should set a better example for her young fans.

The singer-actress courted controversy when she was in November last year caught in a video smoking the herb that has hallucinogenic effects. However, there are other people her age who smoke a lot more than salvia - a natural herb that is legal in California, US, reports people. com.

"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 told Marie Claire magazine.(IANS)
