Ranbir Kapoor, who is all set to rule the box office with his upcoming film ‘Sanju’, recently spoke about his obsession with nicotine and why is it so difficult for him to give it up.

In the same interview, the actor also revealed that he had to take treatments in Austria to get rid of his addictions.  He told GQ magazine, “I quit smoking for four months, then started rolling cigarettes again just last month – just one or two a day. It’s something I’m scared of because I’ve been a nicotine addict since I was 15, and it’s the worst kind of addiction. It’s taken me trips to Austria, to this doctor who gave me injections in my ears, to help me quit smoking the first time, because I don’t think I have the willpower to give it up on my own. But vaping isn’t working for me either – you can’t leave one habit for another. Eventually it’ll just come back more ferociously.” (Also Read: OMG!
