Love Tom”The youngster had also drawn a cigarette which was crossed out with two lines in the middle.Johnny has tried to quit his habit of smoking for well over four years but the father-of-two has constantly found himself reverting to his old ways.Back in 2019, the Benidorm star credited Madonna for helping him quit puffing on dozens of cigarettes a day, insisting that whenever he felt the urge to have a smoke, he’d begin dancing to the singer’s song Lucky Star.In an interview with Daily Star in November that year, Johnny claimed that just 10 seconds of breaking into a boogie to the pop song helped subside his urge for a cigarette."Every time I seriously consider having a cigarette I make myself dance for at least 10 seconds to her Lucky Star hit."It's not a good look for me and does actually help bolster the social embarrassment bit of my brain while it fights its corner against addiction.”Meanwhile, his tweet mentioning being rid of cigarettes for over three weeks was met with a positive reaction from fans who reacted in the comment section of the post.Some people went on to share their own experiences on trying to tackle their former and current habits with tobacco.“Having kids who told you off for smoking in the house worked a treat,” the Twitter user @Bubblesaroo quipped.Another user named @BoppyWalsh17 asserted that reading books helped them overcome their addiction to cigarettes.“When I stopped I really started struggling 3 or 4 weeks in, I read the Allan Carr Easy Way book at that point and it was the turning point,” they said.“The book that changed my life, worth a punt if you are unsteady at any point.
