After years of reliance on cigarettes, Bollywood megastar Aamir Khan announced that he has quit smoking. He revealed this news at the trailer launch event of his son Junaid Khan's film Loveyapa in Mumbai, as per The Hindu.

"I have given up smoking. Smoking is something I love very much and it's something I enjoy," Aamir confessed. "What can I say? It's the truth. I can't lie about it. I'd been puffing cigarettes for many years. Tobacco is something I enjoy, though it's not good for health. No one should do it."

Further advocating against this, the actor added, "I am very happy to say that I have quit this bad habit. And since a lot of people are listening and watching, I would also like to tell them, please quit this. It's not a good habit. It shouldn't be done."

Aamir also revealed that his decision to battle the addiction at this time is a conscious one, considering that his son is looking to establish himself in the entertainment industry. "My son's film is about to come. I felt it was the right moment to quit, so I vowed not to smoke. Whether it works or not, as a father, I wanted to make this sacrifice," the Taare Zameen Par actor candidly shared.
