Daniel Radcliffe's friends are pleading with him to quit his "disgusting" 20-a-day cigarette habit.
The 18-year-old actor - who is currently filming 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' - has become so addicted to nicotine he has been nicknamed 'Harry Puffer' by his co-stars.
A source said: "Daniel has been smoking up to 20 cigarettes a day. Every time they call 'cut', he lights up. It's disgusting.
"Friends, including co-stars Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, have been warning him about the dangers of smoking. But he doesn't take any notice."
Daniel reportedly got through a whole pack of cigarettes when he had to film a difficult stunt last week.
The insider added to Britain's The Sun newspaper: "He was really nervous about the scene and was sparking up constantly."
Movie bosses are said to be worried Daniel's habit could tarnish his schoolboy image and have reportedly told him not to smoke in public.
However, their warnings have fallen on deaf ears and Daniel is still said to be "smoking like a trooper" on nights out.
The source said: "He's been having late nights out with stars including Kevin Spacey and Stephen Fry and been puffing up a storm."
