Smoking has always been injurious to our health and will always be in all the worlds. Celebrities can do smoking because they have the resources to treat themselves right when the health mercury drops.

But the cancer stick looks good only when they are inside that cigarette pack. Live a wonderful and a healthy life and follow your favorite actor for something lucrative. There are plenty of things in which celebrities have proved themselves as active gods.
