Simon Cowell quits his smoking habit

Simon Cowell quits his 40-a-day smoking habit in his quest for eternal youth

Simon Cowell
THE X Factor boss, who started smoking at the age of eight, has ditched his smokes in favour of an electronic cigarette which he's even been seen puffing on during a red carpet outing.

SHEEP placenta facials, colonics, Botox, not to mention injecting ­vitamins, Simon Cowell’s efforts to stave off the ravages of time are never-ending. But now the vain 53-year-old X Factor mogul has made the most sensible decision yet in his quest for eternal youth – to kick his 40-a-day smoking habit. According to his fellow ­Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden, Simon has replaced his favourite wrinkle-inducing Kool menthol ­cigarettes with electronic ones. The e-cigarettes work by sucking in water from the atmosphere and releasing vapour that looks like imitation smoke.

Amanda, 42, said: “Simon does not smoke any more. He has got a vaporising cigarette instead. He smokes air, or rather water. It’s amazing.” The devices are huge in LA – where Simon is based for six months a year – and he was recently spotted puffing on an e-ciggy on a red carpet. The multi-millionaire, who once admitted he started smoking at the age of EIGHT, has previously gushed about so-called “cancer sticks”.
He said: “I genuinely still love smoking.
“I equate smoking with having a good time.
“I shouldn’t be saying this but, well, they’re not illegal, are they? After sex – amazing.”
Too much information, Mr Cowell. Far too much. Hopefully, it’ll be third time lucky for the BGT boss, who’s attempted to quit twice before.

In January 2012 he made a New Year resolution to stop with the aid of hypnosis after close friends and family begged him to kick the revolting, and very stinky, habit. With a few sessions under his belt at a pricey London clinic, he managed to reduce his habit from a chain-smoking 44 fags-a-day to 15. Docs then warned workaholic Simon to ditch tabs altogether after he collapsed from nervous exhaustion last summer. A Britain’s Got Talent insider added: “Simon is trying to cut down on the menthols and he’s finding that electronic cigarettes are really helping.” Fingers crossed that they do the trick – and just think what he’ll save on anti-ageing treatments.

e-Cig to Blamed for Decline in Tobacco Sales

declineIn a March report from Morgan Stanley research analysts, it was noted that tobacco cigarettes sales had declined by 4.5 percent compared to projections for 2013*. This is a pretty major success for the American public, but what has caused such a drastic reduction in the use of tobacco?
There are several reasons that have been brought up in speculation. First, the FDA ran a massive ad campaign through the national media to push for smokers to quit the habit once and for all. Could this advertising push have been so effective that it caused such a high number of smokers to put down their cigarettes? Considering how many other widespread campaigns they have used in the past, it’s probably not likely that a single new advertising push is to blame for the major decline in tobacco sales.
Some say the ad campaign couldn't have been that successful so quickly, but perhaps the decline could be attributed to more smoke-free workplaces and new policies that began in early 2013. Others blame the decline on increased taxes on tobacco. But what is the real reason for a 4.5 percent decrease in cigarette sales in the first quarter?
The Morgan Stanley research team said that none of the above reasons was the main contributing factor. Instead, they blamed the decline of tobacco cigarette sales on the massive growth of electronic cigarettes.
Interestingly, this huge health accomplishment among American smokers has not been celebrated publicly. Because the FDA isn't behind the vast success, they seem to be quietly ignoring the situation. It seems almost ironic that the electronic cigarettes that the FDA worked so hard to ban are the one successful alternative that many smokers have chosen as a way to stop using tobacco.
Despite the naysayers that have repeatedly opposed electronic cigarettes, the proof is coming forward each day as more smokers put away their old tobacco cigarettes and pick up e-cigs.
