Khan has been an avid smoker over the years and it is something that he enjoys a lot.

Talking at the launch, thePK actor said, “I have given up smoking. It is something I love very much and it’s something I enjoy. It’s the truth, I can’t lie.''

Talking further, he said that he has shifted to pipe now. ''I’ve been smoking cigarettes for years, now I smoke a pipe. Tobacco is something I enjoy. It’s not good for health. No one should do it.”

Last year, a video of Khan smoking a pipe during an Instagram live session went viral. He was promoting his ex-wife Kiran Rao's movieLaapataa Ladies.

''I’m very happy to say that I’ve quit this bad habit. And whoever is watching or listening, I want to tell them too to please quit it. It’s not a good habit,'' he added further.

Connecting his decision to quit smoking with Junaid's film, he jokingly added, ''I felt I wanted to quit, my son's career is starting too. I made a resolve in my heart. I'm quitting, whether it works or not, I'm doing this independent of that. As a father, I wanted to sacrifice. Hope it does something somewhere in the universe. You guys pray and wish for that, too.”
