Colin Farrell is done with smoking
July 15th, 2011 - 2:09 pm ICT by IANSLos Angeles, July 15 (IANS) Actor Colin Farrell has finally managed to quit smoking.
The Irish actor, who was a chain-smoker, often wore a nicotine patch to curb his craving while filming on sets where smoking was banned but has now given up the habit completely.
“It was time. I was a 40-cigarette-a-day smoker, but I wasn’t enjoying it. So, on my 34th birthday last year, I spent a day with a pack and consciously looked at every single puff until I smoked the last one at 11.55 that night,” he told America’s InStyle magazine.
“I did a whole ritual thing by writing a letter to tobacco, giving it as much significance as I possibly could. I’m done with it,” he added.
