Ben Affleck’s chain-smoking stinks so bad his friends can’t take it, RadarOnline.com reveals. The actor, 52, vowed to ditch cigs in 2025 with hypnosis but keeps puffing away. An insider says he reeks, leaving pals like Matt Damon fed up with the stench.
Smoking Comeback Sours Crew
Affleck ducks out for smokes nonstop, barely lasting through meets or events, the source spills. He quit in 2005 via hypnosis and felt great, he bragged on TV in 2008. But by 2016, stress sparked sneaky puffs—now a full-blown habit again, they add.
Hypnosis flopped this time—no real will to stop, the insider notes. Friends resent the smell clinging to his hair and hands. For them, it’s tough to stomach, especially since he promised a fresh start.
Health Risks Haunt Star
The source calls smoking Affleck’s last crutch after three rehab stints for booze, the latest in 2018. Pals tried patience, but he’s a walking ashtray, they groan. Lung cancer and emphysema loom as threats, they warn.
He bragged about health gains post-2005 quit, yet stress pulled him back. Now, his crew struggles with the fallout—literally. For Affleck, it’s a lone vice that’s burning bridges, the insider hints.
