Statutory warning on cigarette packets has done little to prevent addicted people from practicing this deadly habit, which leads to cancer and many other respiratory diseases.
Although many consider celebrities as their role models, they should not imitate their bad habits.
Many Bollywood celebs, including Shah Rukh Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Ranbir Kapoor, Ajay Devgn and others have confessed that they are chain smokers.
