"I started smoking while doing my first play but I want to quit it since ages. It is a harmful, useless addiction and has been my biggest personal disappointment. In fact, I also smoked beedis at one point of time in the foolish hope that they were less harmful," Irrfan told PTI.
The actor rolls his own cigarettes, a habit, which he picked up while shooting HBO drama 'In Treatment', where he plays a reluctant patient. "My character rolls his own cigarettes and it sort of spilled in real life too. I now prepare my own smoke," he says.
Other chain-smokers in Bollywood are Ajay Devgan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Arshad Warsi and Arjun Rampal.
