Jack Wilshere has expressed his regret at being pictured smoking for a second time and dubbed the incident yet again a "mistake".
The England midfield was snapped smoking last year, something which boss Arsene Wenger spoke to him about and something he quickly claimed was a mistake.
However, in a holiday after his World Cup campaign with England, Wilshere was again pictured enjoying a cigarette.
And he was questioned about the incident during Arsenal's trip to the United States to play New York Red Bulls in a friendly.
"Of course I regret it", he was quoted as saying by the BBC.

"It's unacceptable and I will accept the consequences and move on.
"I've been seen before doing it.
"I said then I made a mistake and I have made a mistake again. People make mistakes.
"I'm young and I'll learn from it. I realise the consequences it has and the effect on kids growing up. I have kids myself and I don't want them growing up to think their dad smokes and it's OK for a footballer to smoke because it's not."
