Stars who kicked the butt!

Have been trying to kick the butt, but lack inspiration?
Don’t fret as help is at hand. We bring you a brigade of stars, who have managed to quit smoking for a mélange of reasons. Read ahead, and be inspired and quit smoking for good.
Saifu kicks to be safe
It was only after a visit to the hospital, that the benefits of not smoking dawned upon Saif. But as they say, better late then never! “The first three weeks are really tough.Once you get over that, you are free,” was the gyaan that Chote Nawab gave to all those who want to quit. As far as getting tempted is concerned, Saif seems to have learnt from the health attack he has suffered and is determined to continue abstinence. The secret mantra that helps the actor resist is that he drinks water every time he feels like having a ciggie. Though, it gets tough for the actor to resist when he’s in a bar watching his friends smoke, but it seems the motivation has finally won over the temptation!
Ajay breaks the chain for health
Health is wealth! It seems our actors have finally begun to realise this. Ajay Devgan, a self-confessed chain smoker is another star who has wowed not to touch a fag and is also sticking to his promise. Wife Kajol was worried about his habit, more so after seeing her dad suffer a heart attack, but Ajay was absolutely unperturbed till his body sent out alarm bells and he fell ill. That’s when he decided to go smoke free and Kajol can’t stop thanking God since then!
Aamir Khan’s inner calling
With no specific reason in place, the perfectionist Aamir, credits his gut feeling for calling it quits. Though he’s an occasional smoker, now he is on absolute abstinence mode. Not just ciggies, the man is under a self-imposed alcohol ban as well. This is because of some weight that he has put on during the last few months and hey, who does want to be healthy?
Arjun Rampal does it for his kids
For the 37-year-old model-turned-actor smoking came as a part of his curriculum in college. But off late, the star declared in one of his tweets that he is all set to kick the butt for the sake of his two young kids! Another influence that seems working on the star is that of wifey Meher, who too has quit her love for the puff. Well... even you can do it for the sake of your kids, if not yours then for the one’s around you. After all, even second hand smoking is not a small killer!
Gisele Bundchen calls it quits
The Brazilian supermodel-now-yummy mom kicked the butt as a part of her New Year resolution. In an interview with a glossy Gisele stated, "food tastes better than when it tasted like (an) ashtray." Hope that gives you a good reason!
Charlize’ roll demands
Known for her dedication towards her work and the way she tries to get into the skin of every character she portrays, for actor Charlize Theron, the decision to quit smoking came as a professional demand. It was when she was supposed to play a role of a non-smoker, which she failed due to her addiction, she took the help of a hypnotist and came out to be a non-smoker.
Liz Hurley sucks on it
Liz Hurley is another celebrity to join the anti-tobacco brigade. Though, we don’t have any clue about the reason she quit, but what she did to quit is quite interesting. The actress sucks upon a baby’s pacifier to help her quit smoking, revealed her spokesperson, when enquired by stunned paparazzi.
Stars we would like to kick the butt forever... after all we adore them and would love to watch them grow old healthy...
The stubborn SRK
Irrespective of bans, urges, pleadings and requests, he is one star who refuses to stub the stick. He should thank his stars for being healthy, despite the addiction. But a little ray of hope still remains as recently SRK declared that he would try to quit for his kid’s sake. We hope what health minister Ramadoss couldn’t do, his kids will!
Anurag Kashyap, the diehard ciggie fan
We won’t mind calling the director Adamant Anurag, for the fact that he is not going to budge from his habit of smoking. Even his movie ‘No Smoking’ failed to put some sense into the director’s mind. Though Anurag has quit alcohol post an asthma attack, smoking is his first love. However, the man is trying to cut down the number... a complete ban is still out of the scene.
Rani’s lights up in a loo
Surprising it might sound to many, but your fav Rani Mukherjee is addicted to the sick. According to sources, she gets trouble answering nature calls without her regular morning fag. However, the habit is not going really well with Rani’s mother, but daughter dearest seems to be an addict. So, she has found out a way to avoid mommy and continue fagging by hiding inside the loo. Grrr... this is not what we expect from you, Rani!
