Amitabh Bachchan on quitting drinking and smoking in one go

Mumbai: Veteran Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan on his blog talked about quitting alcohol and smoking at once early in his life. His pro tip is, "The more the dwindling, the greater the undesired habit of remaining."

He said that after post-graduation, he along with classmates got together to drink pure alcohol in the science lab. They all fell "extremely sick" and learned "the effects or rather the dis-effects of the elixir". He added that alcohol consumption or smoking is a personal choice.

"A Sunday that worked with a vengeance .. to disrupt the norm, when it disrupts you .. a normal tendency .. but never suggested in practical .. practicals bring back memories of School, where the word or the expression was invariably referred to the practicals in the Science Labs .. mixing elements, playing around with gadgetry in the physics lab .. the College routine in continuation and the site one fine day when the last paper for the Graduate degree was over to find some of the classmates celebrating with the pure alcohol, kept in the Lab, for experiments and getting extremely sick .. .. an act that taught a lesson very early towards the effects or rather the dis effects of the elixir," he wrote.

"Yes there were a few other instances noticed, in School and in College, when this intoxicant played havoc due to its excess .. and then when in job in the City of Joy, the natural curriculum seemed to be in line with that phrase ‘social drinking’. I shall not deny the consumption of it, but its reason or resolve in leaving for years and years now, I shall not deliberate .. it is a personal choice and demeanour .. yes I do not .. but why the announce of it," he added.

He further wrote, "As is the case with the cigarette .. in abundance in the years of free, and the sudden and immediate resolve to leave it .. and the way to leave is really quite simple .. chuck that glass of the intoxicant, while in the middle of it and crush the ‘ciggi’ on your lips at the same time and .. sayonara .. the very best way to be in riddance .. not some part-time exigencies to stop the use .. its the removal of cancer at once .. done at the rush of a stroke .. the more the dwindling, the greater the undesired habit of remaining."

Amitabh Bachchan recently injured himself on the set of Project K. After a break, he returned to work earlier this month.
