In his interview with Men's Health, Ewan McGregor shared his smoking addiction before. "It's interesting that people used to think that smoking was glamorous. I used to think it was pretty cool."
When he was aware how threatening smoking was, he segued to drinking. "What matters most with any regimen, whether it's to lose weight or stop drinking or smoking, is your willingness to seek help and your desire to say no more. The voice in your head that says 'I chose not to' is what ultimately makes the difference between not changing and making changes that last."
Asserting that these vices are difficult to stop, he said, "I wasn't someone who could smoke or drink in moderation, and I recognized that those things would kill me. I started visualizing the doctor telling me that I had cancer from smoking or that I was extremely ill because of how much I'd been drinking. What kind of regret would I have if I had to tell my children or my wife that I was dying because of something I could have done something about? I didn't want to be that kind of man."
