Salman Khan quits smoking!

Salman Khan on his 10 Ka Dum blog, proudly claims to have finally quit smoking! Here’s the latest from his blog post on why he quit the deadly nicotine addiction and exactly how difficult it is to do so..! Read on..

I have quit smoking.

For my family and friends it’s the greatest news and if we were publishing a daily family bulletin, it would make the headline, in the boldest, biggest possible letters.

They say that quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world because you can do it several times in a day! But I have done it the hard way – today, is my sixth day. I look at a pack of cigarettes and say ‘well this small, burning, foul smelling, filthy thing captured me for years’. A six pack man who slogs for at least hundred minutes in the gym everyday was dominated by this two inch long destroyer that burns end to end in just three minutes!

Every man who quits has to invent his own ways to fight the temptation. Even on my sixth tobacco-less day, I have a very strong urge to smoke. But my denial is equally strong. I think this desire and denial conflict consumes most of our energy.

My memories of smoking still haunt me because it has been a habit that you practice from the moment you wake up and stub the last one just before sleeping. It is said that restlessness drives you to smoke but quitting generates greater restlessness and withdrawal symptoms torture you no end. It almost gives pain to every limb and every muscle in the body. I wonder when one faces the strongest desire to smoke – upon waking up, post meals, while reading or pursuing a favourite hobby, during working hours or relaxing time. Some people need it very badly when they are in the toilet. In fact, most youngsters pick up this nasty habit in the toilet… only because they think they can’t get caught.

I have fought several villains on and off screen but the toughest villain to fight, is quitting smoking!
