Actor and model Milind Soman is known to be a fitness freak. He keeps motivating and spreading awareness about leading a healthy and physically fit lifestyle through his social media posts. Recently, Milind recalled one of the most stupid and unhealthy thing he ever did. When he was working on the 1998 sci-fi TV show, 'Captain Vyom', Milind developed a habit of smoking 20-30 cigarettes a day.

A day after World No Tobacco Day, Milind shared a small clip on Instragram featuring hum snapping a cigarette in two. He shared his experience in the caption which read, "The tobacco epidemic is one of the biggest public health threats the world has ever faced, killing more than 8 million people a year around the world World Health Organization....Every 31st of May, World No Tobacco Day, is a celebration for me, and also a reminder of the stupidest thing I ever did - smoke!!...I started smoking at the age of 32, on the sets of Captain Vyom, a sci-fi TV series i was shooting at the time. There was no reason to start, just hanging out with people who smoked, trying it out and getting hooked."

Milind added, "I got addicted really quickly and was soon smoking 20-30 cigarettes a day. Was tough to stop and took me a long, long time, but I was fortunate that I could....I think i got off lightly. Probably because a lot of other good habits. Many are not so lucky....#habits #health."
