Actor, model, and fitness enthusiast Milind Soman is an absolute inspiration when it comes to fitness. However, there was once a time when Soman would smoke up to 30 cigarettes a day. Breaking that unhealthy habit was the toughest thing he had to do.

For Milind Soman, every May 31st which is marked World No Tobacco day is a personal celebration. Sharing a clip of him breaking a cigarette, Soman wrote, “Every 31st of May, World No Tobacco Day, is a celebration for me, and also a reminder of the stupidest thing I ever did – smoke!!”

“I started smoking at the age of 32, on the sets of Captain Vyom, a sci-fi TV series I was shooting at the time. There was no reason to start, just hanging out with people who smoked, trying it out and getting hooked. I got addicted really quickly and was soon smoking 20-30 cigarettes a day. Was tough to stop and took me a long, long time, but I was fortunate that I could. . . . I think i got off lightly. Probably because a lot of other good habits. Many are not so lucky,” shared Milind Soman.
