`Britain`s Got Talent` judge Simon Cowell says he has finally quit smoking cigarettes after decades of puffing away.
He once smoked up to 40 cigarettes a day and was always seen with a packet by his side when travelling in cars, as well as regularly smoking in meetings, reports `Mirror.co.uk`.
But he has been trying to cut down since son Eric was born and now seems to have quit with the help of a vape cigarette.
Cowell said: “I`m going to say yes I`ve quit. I`m vaping so I`m not quite out of the woods, but I don`t smoke cigarettes. I have not had a cigarette in about three or four weeks.”
He further mentioned, quoted by `Mirror.co.uk`, “I mean it was really, really tough. But you probably heard I lost my voice a few weeks ago, when that happened obviously I couldn`t smoke. And then I realised. You know what, if I can get through four days, I can do a week. I could do a week, two weeks, et cetera, et cetera. And then I just thought, well, this is the moment.”

Simon said quitting smoking was part of a general change in his lifestyle to be healthier, which had happened following his E-bike accident in August 2020 which almost left him in a wheelchair.
He said: “There is that moment when something like this happens in a big accident. And you are lying there. And you are completely helpless, and there`s nothing you can do about it. It`s the worst feeling in the world. And so at that point, you just realise health is more important than anything else. But I had said those things before. And I didn`t really think about it properly. Now I really, really think about it. Which is if you want to have a happy life, as much as you can, you`ve got to put health number one.”
