Well, it is never an easy thing, especially when it has been a part of your life for so many years.

However, Saif Ali Khan has decided to pack it in.

Yes, he is quiting.

He has decided to do what many have hoped Shah Rukh will do soon and he has been trying to do for many years - only it seems Saif actually did.

Confused? Don't be...I am talking about smoking.

SRK has been trying hard to quit smoking, and while he has to be commened for drastically cutting back, so far he hasn’t been successful in kicking the habit.

On the other hand, a friend of Saif says, "Saif is a very good and caring father, and ever since photographs of him and Amrita were published smoking during a school function of their children, he was concerned about how his children would react and he decided to give up smoking."

Let's hope Saif be an encouragment for SRK.
