Observed on May 31 every year, World No Tobacco Day is celebrated to raise awareness about the harmful effects of using tobacco and the adverse effects of smoking. Smoking can lead to diseases like cancer, diabetes and many other respiratory disorders.
Here’s a list 5 Bollywood actors who quit smoking.
Saif Ali Khan
A perpetual smoker, Saif wouldn’t have even dreamt of giving up on this habit, had it not been for a heart-attack. The incident changed his life, and not only has he quit for good, but also abstains from consuming alcohol!
Konkana Sen Sharma
Motherhood changes one’s lifestyle completely—and Konkona Sen Sharma is living proof of it. Addicted to smoking all her life, she ditched it when she became pregnant with her son. She was quoted saying, “The pregnancy meant a complete change in lifestyle. I used to be a smoker, overnight I couldn’t smoke or drink at all.”
Salman Khan
Just like Saif, Salman too learnt his lesson the hard way. But fortunately, when it was still not too late. A nerve ailment made him quit the habit for good, and he has been on the road to good health ever since.
Aamir Khan
Parents can do anything for children, and celebs are no different. Coaxing, nagging, pleading—Aamir’s children from his first wife did everything they could to make their Dad give up the disgusting habit. He significantly reduced his intake on their request, and eventually gave up smoking when his third child, Azaad was born.
Vivek Oberoi
One visit to a cancer hospital, and his life transformed. Vivek Oberoi, not only quit smoking himself, but also became the ambassador for WHO’s anti-smoking movement. Not just that, he refuses to even be a passive smoker, and doesn’t let people smoke on the sets! Now, that’s quite a transformation!
