Saif Ali Khan , Shahid Kapoor , Salman khan ; At the Fag end of the habit

The cancer stick is fast becoming a thing of the past. The ban on smoking in public places is slowly entering its second year .This measure has certainly been of some use to curb smokers from harming their lungs for life. However for smokers the temptation is too much to resist. It's like a carrot hanging in front of one's eyes and not able to get it. There are millions of smokers who vouch never to touch that no good stick called 'cigarette' –but how many are really able to get rid of it completely?

Speaking of kicking the habit of smoking –even our stars are not spared. Many of our bollywood stars have been chain smokers or just smokers in the past .Take Saif Ali Khan for example .Saif has recently joined in an anti tobacco campaign. This chain smoker star vouched not to touch the forbidden stick when he suddenly had to be admitted to a hospital as he almost had had a heart attack. Saif decided to immediately quit smoking. He said he did suffer from trembling hands etc. These are those symptoms that affect a person when he or she decides to stay away from smoking- initially according to Saif he stayed for three weeks in hospital without the deadly stick and he has eventually given it up for good. Now, every time he feels like smoking he drinks a glass of water. He feels good after that and this has helped our suave, polished and established star to kick the habit all together.

Another star, Shahid kapoor had started smoking drastically during the shooting of Kismet Connection in Canada. Shahid was feeling very low due to his personal problems in relationships. His addiction had reached such heights that all his near and dear ones were worried sick. Then, suddenly, on his birthday in September this year he vowed never to smoke again. His mind is so strongly made up now, that he just does not want to touch the killer stick anymore.

Talking of stars how can we forget Salman khan? The man was so much addicted that he was affected due to it. His health suffered. For him, the trouble was to maintain his well toned body .After realizing that he was not able to train himself as he used to earlier our very dear Salman decided to give the stick a final goodbye from his life. Now says our dear star, if he ever sees anyone smoking he just avoids it and concentrates on something else.

All we can say to these stars is Bravo! Thumbs up to you all macho men. If this is the kind of message our stars spread then we shall have a very healthy world soon, hopefully!

Shahid's birthday is not in September, and he didn't decide suddenly, his trainer adviced him to kick the habit.

Wait is his birthday in september? Wasn't it earlier - I remember reading something about a party earlier in the year.


Anyway I am glad they all quit. Ranbir did too, but I believe he is back to smoking again. 🤢

Edit: Thanks Riya for the correction.

Awww Biru! Come on, you can do it!
Man its not easy feat. I mean really, smoking takes over your life.
Perpahs the one good thing that came out of htat heart scare in 2007 for saif was that he kicked hte habit.
Or well, he sorta substituted one addiction, for another. Now he's addicted to love, lol 😆
