Various peculiar reasons for celebrities quitting smoking?

Previously, numerous Korean celebrities faced widespread discussion due to 'smoking'. Whether it was the image of them smoking in private, or instances where they were reprimanded by netizens for smoking indoors, such examples were not few and far between. However, as fans become more and more accepting, as long as their beloved artists do not smoke in no-smoking zones, they are accorded a certain amount of respect.

Even though smoking is a personal choice, it is still not a healthy habit, so many celebrities have also started to quit smoking. Recently, netizens compiled various reasons for South Korean celebrities to quit smoking, which surprisingly caused a lot of discussion.

Veteran actor Kim Soo-mi was originally a long-time smoker, but finally began to quit smoking under the persuasion of friends. Unexpectedly, she became addicted to nicotine gum meant for quitting smoking. On the other hand, the reason singer Kim Jong-seo went from smoking to quitting has to do with the habits of singer Cho Yong-pil. When Kim Jong-seo heard that Cho Yong-pil smokes three packs a day, he also developed the habit of smoking three packs a day. But after learning that Cho Yong-pil quit smoking, he followed suit.

In addition, the artist Yang Se-chan originally also had smoking habit, but after suffering from thyroid cancer and successfully fighting it, he changed his smoking habit and returned to a healthy lifestyle. On the other hand, Hee-chul, a member of the boy group Super Junior, once said that he was scared into quitting smoking when he heard that smoking could cause gums to change color.
