Colin Farrell quits smoking

London: Phone Booth star Colin Farrell says he has finally kicked his habit of smoking. A former chain-smoker, the 35-year-old Irish actor often had to wear a nicotine patch to satisfy his cravings while filming on sets where the habit is banned. But now Farrell says he has ended his relationship with cigarettes in a bid to get healthy, reported Contactmusic. “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. “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,” Farrell said. (PTI)
