    I am a true believer in the fact that it (cigarette) is the worst evil manufactured and sold in this world. It should not exist. As far as anti-smoking disclaimers are concerned, I don’t know if that is the right way. I think it needs a role model who will speak on the joy of being a non-smoker. Perhaps, someone like me. I would love to become a symbol of…someone who struggled with giving up smoking and now is enjoying his life as a non-smoker. That will go a longer way in changing people’s perspective and making them believe that smoking is not good.”
