20. Michael Douglas

The star of Basic Instinct, Wall Street, The China Syndrome and Fatal Attraction has had a major health scare in 2010, something that helped him finally quit smoking. Douglas announced he had throat cancer in advanced stages and that it was most likely a consequence of certain unhealthy habits, specifically drinking and smoking.

After chemotherapy and radiation therapy he was declared cancer-free. Of course, it only made sense for him to give up the habits which caused his disease, and cigarettes had to go. The problem is that Douglas’ wife Catherine Zeta-Jones is a pretty heavy smoker herself so they sort of enabled each other in their habit. After deciding to quit together, the couple was caught smoking while on vacation.

Their representatives did not provide any explanation for this, stating that Douglas is no longer a smoker. It was later also revealed that he was, in fact, suffering not from throat but from tongue cancer, although it didn’t make much difference in terms of his habit.
