Don’t smoke: Sunny Leone to youngsters

Actress Sunny Leone’s message to youngsters who have not smoked till now and are thinking about it is to avoid picking up the cigarette.

‘For the youngsters out there, if you haven’t started smoking yet or thinking about it, don’t pick up that first cigarette. It’s not worth it in the long run, and it’s not cool. If you want to try, just think twice before trying it,’ said Sunny at the launch of a special anti-smoking advertisement featuring her and ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ actor Deepak Dobriyal.

‘Smoking is bad for health. This is something very close to my heart, my father passed away from cancer, from smoking cigarettes,’ she said.

‘I want people to stop smoking, and live a happier, healthier life. Unfortunately, you can’t force anybody but you can tell people not to smoke around them. Maybe if the government, restaurant owners say that they don’t want smoke inside their buildings, then that would be the first step,’ she added.
