She says she was smoking tobacco ... despite the fact that her cup-holders had remnants of what appeared to be marijuana. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0916_amanda_bynes_smoking_wm\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/09/16/0916-amanda-bynes-smoking-wm-1.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we previously reported, we spoke with several people who have &lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2012/09/15/amanda-bynes-mental-issues/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;witnessed Amanda's behavior&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; recently, who say she's chatting with inanimate objects ... talking to herself in the gym ... and they fear she may be suffering from serious mental issues. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other Amanda news ... she's still facing TWO hit-and-run charges, one DUI charge and her &lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2012/09/06/amanda-bynes-drivers-license-suspended/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;license is still suspended&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. And her car &lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2012/09/16/amanda-bynes-car-impounded/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;got impounded&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; yesterday."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
