On the occasion of World No-Tobacoco Day, actor Purab Kohli has revealed how he got rid of his smoking addiction. He revealed that he began smoking at the young age of 15 and decided to quit in his late 20s. Recalling his methods of getting rid of the habit, he said it was "not a cakewalk". 

Talking to Hindustan Times, Purab Kohli shared, "I was around 15-16 years old. We always know that smoking is bad and we had already heard some terrible stories so we knew we were doing something that was not good. Smoking looked attractive at that time, as this macho thing. But, I started it just to feel cool."
