VIDEO : How Did Colin Farrell Finally Quit Smoking?

Colin Farrell went to some seriously great lengths to quit his smoking habit. The True Detective actor opened up to Men's Health about how he eventually stopped himself from picking up another cigarette and revealed his rather untraditional method to ditch the vice. He told the magazine, "I wrote a breakup letter to the Spirit of Tobacco. I got a frying pan and tossed the letter with a load of tobacco, put some paraffin over it, and lit a match that sent a big, wallowing cloud up into the sky. Then I didn't have a cigarette for another two years." In the interview, the Irish star also opened up about how raising his two sons, 11-year-old James and 5-year-old Henry, has taken priority over his career and dating life in recent years.
