Charlize found it difficult to quit but realised she was smoking because she wanted to harm herself: “I was highly addicted. I thought, I don’t smoke like normal people. I smoke to die.”

Colin Farrell

Colin decided he had to quit so created a ritual to force himself to stop: “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.”
