I used to smoke 40 cigarettes a day: Ex-Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah
Former Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah has revealed he used to smoke 40 cigarettes a day. "Once my friends...brought a box of foreign cigarettes. Elated, I emptied [it] in a day, only to question myself later...with guilt. It was the day, 31 years ago I stopped smoking," he said. "I can't even tolerate the smell that emanates after smoke now," he added.
