But it cannot be ruled out that still there are countless smokers among youngsters. The majority of chain smokers are there in film industry. They cite a reason for smoking.
They say, “We smoke to reduce food intake. We smoke at least two before our lunch and dinner and that makes us eat less”.
“In fact, the insiders know well that the heroes Mahesh Babu, Prabhas, Sunil and many others are regular chain smokers. But they don’t smoke the Indian made hard tobacco cigarettes but import the lean ones from Europe and Thailand. Smoking four such cigarettes will equal the harm of a regular king size cigarette made in India”, revealed a production executive.
