Charlie Sheen<\/strong> has been open about conquering multiple addictions<\/a>, from alcohol to crack cocaine, but he blames Johnny Depp<\/strong> for getting him hooked on one particular substance: Nicotine.<\/p>\n In his new memoir, The Book of Sheen<\/em>, the actor, 60, says he started habitually smoking while working on 1986\u2019s Platoon<\/em> with Depp, 62.<\/p>\n The Pirates of the Caribbean<\/em> star, \u201cbegan to offer the cigs more frequently; I began to accept them less cautiously (usually after P.T. or a meal),\u201d Sheen writes. \u201cThis went on for about a week, with Johnny\u2019s strange glee around it growing by the day. He finally clued me in \u2014 he had successfully converted one non-smoker on each of his previous three films.\u201d<\/p>\n The Two and a Half Men<\/em> alum, who told the Daily Beast<\/em><\/a> in 2013 that Depp was a \u201chardcore\u201d partier, reveals in the book that he finally quit the bad habit in 2019. \u201cI did the math and figured out that I had smoked twenty-five miles of cigarettes when lined up tip-to-butt,\u201d he writes. \u201cThanks, Johnny; should I ever need one, I\u2019ll send you the bill for my new lung.\u201d<\/p>\n Depp \u2014 who once told Cosmopolitan<\/em> (via Seattle Times<\/em><\/a>) that he smoked three packs a day, but wanted to have \u201canother mouth grafted onto my face to smoke more\u201d \u2014 has since admitted the vice is \u201cstupid<\/a>\u201d and has more recently been photographed vaping.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/staging.nationalenquirer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-09-at-12.13.01-PM.png\")
