Liam Payne Makes A Life-Changing Resolution

by Tobi Gbile

It's about time for new beginnings, and Liam Payne seems to be no exception. In an interview with People this past weekend, it was revealed that Liam Payne wants to stop smoking in 2016. While it took a lot for him to admit in the first place, his fans quickly ran to support Liam Payne's resolution. Will the 1D member be able to persevere with their encouragement?

While talking to People at the Jingle Ball in Los Angeles this weekend, the 1D boys were asked their plans for 2016. It is all that is on anyone's minds when it comes to One Direction, since the subject of their hiatus, set to begin in March 2016, is no secret. When asked what their New Year's resolutions were, Harry Styles replied that it was "too early" to think about his, soon-to-be father Louis Tomlinson didn't bother with one because he never follows through with them, and Niall Horan reported more standard plans to hit up the gym. Payne, however, got serious, saying:

"I'm going to try and give up smoking, which is hard, but I do want to," he said. "I want to. It's about time. Need to grow up now."

So much love and respect for this One Direction member right now! It takes a lot to be able to address a problem to yourself — imagine admitting it to the entire world! It takes a lot of guts, so the fact that the "Drag Me Down" singer even had the guts to bring it up is a big step in itself.

Thankfully, Payne has received nothing but love, support, and encouragement from his friends and fans. Almost immediately after word got out about the People interview, One Direction fans across the globe got to work, making #YouCanDoItLiam a top worldwide trend on Twitter. Here's how fans are showing their support for the kind 1D member.
