Despite the biblical call "Do not make yourself an idol", most people selflessly worship their favorite actors, singers, artists and writers. Often, fans blindly copy the lifestyle of their idols, their habits, addictions, preferences, and even vices. The logic is simple: if my hero smokes, I will smoke too| if he drinks, I will also become a fan of Bacchus| if he is prone to gastronomic excesses - down with the diet, I will eat everything ... As a result, fans of the stars often end their earthly life in the same way as their idols. This unhealthy trend was the first to be attended to by popular people in the United States. Two well-known American actors who advertised Marlboro cigarettes fell ill with lung cancer and, shortly before their death, made official statements urging their fans to quit smoking. This farewell and, no doubt, noble gesture caused a real wave of the fight against tobacco smoking. The book we present to you sets itself such goals. It contains the case histories of many prominent personalities who fell ill as a result of addictions. And if this book helps save at least a few lives, then it is worth reading.
