Shahrukh
Khan
has
been
served
with
a
legal
notice
for
smoking
in
a
public
place.
The
actor
who
is
known
to
be
a
chain
smoker
and
the
actor
was
spotted
smoking
in
the
recent
Hindustan
Times
Leadership
Summit
and
the
India-Australia
T20
match
in
Mumbai.
The
National
Organization
for
Tobacco
Eradication
issued
the
actor
a
legal
notice.
He
has
been
given
15
days
time
to
reply.
The
actor
plans
to
quit
smoking
for
health
reasons
and
also
because
he
influence
millions
of
fans.
It
may
be
mentioned
that
he
was
one
of
the
few
actors
to
advocated
the
ban
on
smoking
onscreen
as
he
felt
it
wasn't
necessary
for
characterization.
For
now
it
seems
Mr.
SRK
you
need
to
be
very
careful
the
next
time
you
plan
to
light
another
stick!
