No Smoking is a 2007 Indian Thriller film written and directed by Anurag Kashyap, and produced by Vishal Bharadwaj and Kumar Mangat. The film stars John Abraham, Ayesha Takia, and Paresh Rawal in the lead roles. This film was shot in Mumbai, Russian Federation, Kazakhstan and Siberia and is based on the short story Quitters, Inc. by Stephen King. The film was critically panned due to its unusual storyline and did not do well the Indian box-office either, but has since acquired cult status and is considered amongst Anurag Kashyap's finest works. John Abraham plays K, a 30-year-old who thinks... himself smart and refuses to listen to anyone. Confident in himself and everything he does, he is a chain smoker in the true sense. Catching hold of this habit from a very young age, he hasn't looked back ever since. K is also revealed to have smoked spiked ganja and landed up in hospital due to it. His well-wishers have tried in vain to make him quit but to no avail.
