Simon Cowell quits his smoking habit

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

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.

Staying clean and green!

 Leonardo DiCaprio lights up an electronic cigarette to get his nicotine fix on film set

He reportedly tried to help friend Robert Pattinson quit smoking at the end of last year.
And Leonardo DiCaprio is seemingly becoming an expert at quitting the bad habit himself as he was spotted puffing on an electronic cigarette on the set of his new movie.
The actor – who is filming The Wolf of Wall Street – could be seen with the nifty device in his hand as he sat inside an eatery in East Harlem, New York.




Leo seemed in good spirits in between recording scenes at Rao's Restaurant, smiling as he got his nicotine fix in a healthier way than using a normal cigarette. The star happily blew out rings of smoke between takes while filming on his last day for new movie.

The 38-year-old was dressed in a suit which he wore a blue shirt and red tie under.

He also hung on to the electronic cigarette as he traipsed the streets in the more casual ensemble of loose blue jeans and a maroon jumper.

Hopefully his Twilight star friend has had the same will power with trying to give up the bad habit himself.

Robert has been close with him since Leo reached out following his Kristen Stewart cheating scandal, asking if he wanted to party.

He was also seen smoking the same thing last May on the set of DJango Unchained.

Unfortunately for him, he plays the role of chain-smoking villain Calvin Candie in the Quentin Tarantino film so it must have been a hard battle between tasting the real thing.

DiCaprio plays a deranged plantation owner in the movie which is about a man trying to rescue his wife from the hands of Leo’s character.

It also stars other big names including Samuel L. Jackson, Sacha Baron Cohen and Kurt Russell.

Proper way of using eGo-C

Some consumers have complained about leaking around the atomizer. We have several possible causes and solutions. First possible cause may be how the user inhales when using the tank system. The tank system was designed to have liquids flow only when the user inhales. If you hold a full tank cartridge up, you will see the liquid does not flow out. This is because the size of the hole and the surface tension of the liquid prevents it from flowing out. 


However, when a person inhales, it pulls liquid out of the tank. If a person inhales strongly or very quickly, it pulls lots of liquid out of the tank and the atomizer doesn’t have enough time to vaporize all of it. This leaves excess liquid on top of the atomizer. As the user continues to vape, this excess builds up and eventually leaks out around the atomizer. To solve this problem, first blow the excess liquids out of the atomizer cone. Then, try vaping again, but do not inhale too strongly or quickly. Another possibility is the user inhales but does not press the atomizer button quickly or long enough. The result is liquid will come out but not be vaporized. As you continue to use it, excess liquid builds up and starts to leak. 

The solution is to make sure you press the button as you start to inhale and press long enough to make sure all the liquid is vaporized. One other possibility is the tank cap is damaged. If you take the tank cap off often there is a chance of damaging that part of the lid. If part of the lid is damaged and liquid can come out of that damaged part, then when you inhale more liquid than the atomizer can burn will come out and eventually the excess will leak. The solution is to check for damaged cartridges and replace them if damaged. Also make sure the tank is pushed fully into the atomizer. If there is a space, excess liquids can build up there also

Twilight Breaking Dawn: Part 2 Star Makes The Big Switch To Electronic Cigarettes

Popular e-cig brands reviewed at http://www.smokelesscigarettesreviewed.com continue to gain fans and support among Hollywood celebrities, including vampire heartthrob Robert Pattinson of the Twilight saga.

Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) November 16, 2012

Electronic cigarettes are gaining popularity with celebrities in Hollywood with film stars Uma Thurman, Leonardo DiCaprio, and even Twilight's Robert Pattinson all seen taking a puff. Pattinson was also seen at two previous occasions (one at the “Cosmopolis” premiere and the other at the new “Moving Parts” ballet) while smoking the blue e-cigarette, according to the Hollywood Reporter. With the release of Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 just days away, fans are wondering about Pattinson's recent switch from cigarettes to e-cigs.

The Breaking Dawn star is not alone in his decision to switch from smoking cigarettes in favor of smokeless cigarettes. For many, the change to e-cigs offers a more healthy alternative to traditional cigarettes. The unpleasant side effects of smoking such as smokey clothes and discolored teeth do not afflict e-cig users. The shape and feel of electronic cigarettes mimic their traditional counter parts but they contain a battery, nicotine cartridge, and vapor solution inside.

Budget friendly electronic cigarette starter kits and e-cig disposables are also available for new and light users. Unlike traditional cigarettes, one disposable smokeless cigarette gives the same vapor volume as 1.5 packs of cigarettes without the physical waste.

Industry leader Green Smoke has plenty of testimonials on their site from happy customers, such as this one from Chris Spencer (NY):"Before I ordered my Green Smoke® Starter Kit, I was an outcast. I always smelled like an ashtray, people wouldn't let me smoke in their cars and I'd have to go outside, sometimes in the freezing cold, to smoke. Since I got my Green Smoke® Starter Kit I smell great! This is a breakthrough into a whole new world of clean, affordable, great-tasting, no-hassle way of recreational smoking!"

DENNIS QUAID USES AN E-CIG

DENNIS QUAID USES AN E-CIG TO GET RID OF HIS SMOKING HABIT

Dennis Quaid has a new interview with Now Toronto to promote his upcoming movie ‘At Any Price’, which just premiered at the Toronto International Film festival.  Quaid talks about quitting smoking, his new movie, and making smaller movies away from the studio system.

When asked about using an E-cig during the interview and whether it works, Quaid replies, ““It works for me.”

‘At Any Price’ is directed by Rahmin Bahrani, who is considered one of the best art house directors of this decade.  Quaid talks about watching all of Bahrani’s films, and says, ““The boy in Chop Shop is about 13, and he's a non-actor.  He gives this incredible performance. (I said) if you can get a performance out of me like that, that’s what I want to do.”

He also adds that this is a smaller film, saying, “Small stories. It’s something that you don’t find in the business anymore. Movies have mostly gone to big tent poles that the studios are making. This is a film that is about something.”

Quaid has most recently leaned away from making big-budget movies, and has been making smaller, character oriented films as well as going back to television. He is set to appear in the new TV series ‘Vegas’.
