AFTER a desperate battle to get off drugs, “Home Alone” star MACAULAY CULKIN is now destroying himself with cigarettes, say insiders.
The troubled 32-year-old actor is smoking an astonishing 60 cigarettes a day and putting his life at risk of deadly lung cancer!
“Mac has swapped out one deadly habit for another,” declared a concerned pal. “It’s a nightmare!”
Last August, The ENQUIRER revealed that the former child star was a heroin addict who also abused painkillers. Now, he’s said to be off heroin and trying to clean up his act, but he’s tragically relying on another life-threatening crutch.
“He’s put his nicotine addiction into overdrive,” revealed another friend. “Almost every time I see him, he has a cigarette dangling from his lips and is puffing furiously.”
IF MACAULAY, WHO FAVORS Marlboro cigarettes, doesn’t change his ways, he faces a bleak future, warn medical experts.
Dr. Jerome Spunberg, a Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., radiation oncologist, who has not treated Macaulay, told The ENQUIRER he has “30 times the risk” of dying from lung cancer than a nonsmoker.
