He is a big star and his smoking habit is no secret. Everyone around him knows he is addicted to cigarettes. Many people who have worked with him say he is clearly a chain smoker.
Still, there is a strange and interesting detail about the way he smokes that often surprises people who notice it closely.
Whenever he lights a cigarette, he takes only two quick puffs. After that he calmly places the cigarette in a wet ashtray and leaves it there.
It appears that he believes the first two puffs do not put a heavy load on the lungs. This small ritual has become something people quietly talk about.
Many people believe smoke becomes stronger as a cigarette continues to burn. The rising temperature can produce more concentrated smoke and chemicals.
Smokers also tend to start with light puffs and then inhale more deeply later. That pattern increases nicotine intake, so perhaps this star thinks two puffs are the safer choice.
So instead of smoking an entire cigarette at once, he takes just two puffs from each one and puts it aside. This way, he ends up lighting as many cigarettes as he wants, but only takes a couple of puffs from each.
