(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 (marijuana) and landed up in hospital due to it.
His well wishers have tried in vain to make him quit but to no avail. Both K's friend Abbas Tyrewala (Ranvir Shorey) and the doctor who treats K's brother offer to set up an appointment at a rehabilitation center called Prayogshaala ("The Laboratory"), which they claim will rid K of his dreadful habit. K finally relents after his wife Anjali (Ayesha Takia) leaves him, unable to take the strain K's smoking places on their relationship. K decides to check out Prayogshaala, and meets the guru Baba Bengali Sealdahwale (Paresh Rawal), the man who is to save him. When he gets to Kalkatta Karpets, the front for the unconventional rehab center, his Pan's Labyrinthesque adventure starts. The method Prayogshaala uses to cure their patients of their addiction is fear. Each time a patient gives into their vice, Baba makes sure that something shocking happens to them.
No Smoking is full of out-of-body experiences in the fiendish Prayogshala.
No Smoking's soundtrack was released in September, 2007.[1][2] Lyrics by Gulzar.
