Mel Gibson admits that ditching the cigarettes can be really difficult.
Mel says that trying to quit smoking is the biggest challenge he ever faced.
“I’ve quit smoking again,” Gibson told Parade magazine. “It was torture. The first three days I was like an axe murderer. Day four, I’d be ready to come at you with a baseball bat. Day five, I was dangerous with a lawnmower. It is a hellish habit to break."
“My mother smoked, I think, when I was in her womb. I first had a cigarette when I was nine years old. Looking back on the year since, every decision I’ve ever made was done with a cigarette in my mouth. So I did crawl the walls for a while.
“I just don’t do anything fun anymore, but that’s dying, isn’t it? I mean, you die in stages, right? You let things go in pieces. It’s like I’m more than halfway through. If you figure out any answers, tell me. I guess when you finally get them, it’s time to go down for that eternal dirt nap.”
