In the past, Aamir has apologised to fans on his blog for not being able to give up on his habit ('Thanks for the drubbing on my smoking', November 2007).
Three-month break
However, the actor is now on a smoke break for three months. A source on the sets of Raju Hirani's Three Idiots reveals, "Aamir was over heard talking to a friend that he has given up smoking.
He has decided to go on a three-month break for his son Junaid. He doesn't want his habit to be a bad influence on his kids.
Junaid, who follows Aamir's blog religiously, would show him excerpts and comments from fans who have criticised him for smoking."
Aamir also plans to take his kids for a summer vacation. "This is the first time in a long while now, that Aamir is free during their vacation. He's looking forward to spending time with them.
When Junaid catches Aamir smoking, he makes it a point to make his displeasure apparent. So the actor has decided to go on a break for cigarettes till he returns from the vacation with his kids."
