"Smoking killed my mom ... I would do it (anti-smoking messages) if someone is interested in working with me. In fact, I'm getting emails from a cigarette company who want me to do their ads, I have been hrefusing them"
Jackie Shrof |
"Banning scenes of cigarette smoking makes no sense to me. Yes, the Government should be concerned with the health consequences of smoking by the citizens but then they should think seriously about banning the production of tobacco itself."
- Shyam Benegal |
"I remember in my young age, I was very influenced by Dev Anand's smoking ... So those fantasies were related to smoking by the leading stars. ... As a responsible company and filmmaker, Mukta Arts and Subhash Ghai made sure that there is nothing in our films which gives a wrong signal to the young generation."
- Subhash Ghai |
"Tomorrow, they can turn around and say don't show guns in movies as it will encourage violence.'' - Anupam Kher
|
"They say that we influence people and I do not see how can it be possible? There are villagers who never watch films but smoke anyway. They can ban smoking in Hindi cinema but what about HBO and Star Movies?"
- Salman Khan |
 |
| "From 70-80 cigarettes a day, I smoke three to four times now. I feel healthy and happy. Smoking is bad and a no-no for a person with back pain.'' - Shahrukh Khan |
