Mumbai, May 28 (IANS) Singer Shaan feels that films these days are portraying alcohol and smoking as a very normal thing and he wants this trend to be discouraged.

"There are a lot of songs being made even on alcohol these days which depict such things as easy and friendly. Every other scene today has someone having shots and enjoying. I think they should be more responsible and avoid drinking and smoking in movies," the 39-year-old said here Sunday at an event for World No Tobacco Day.

Every year May 31 is observed as World No Tobacco Day.
