Music mogul Simon Cowell says he is cutting back on his smoking and drinking for the sake of his young son.
Cowell, 56, says he refuses to puff cigarettes in front of little Eric, and now he's on a mission to get rid of his bad habit, reported Contactmusic.
"The idea is to cut down on the number. The Vape (electronic vapour cigarette) has been successful. It's a good one, it tastes nice and sweet. My driver was on 40-a-day and he has cut out smoking completely," Cowell said.
"I'm on 80-a-day now. It's a step in the right direction. I don't smoke in front of Eric for obvious reasons.
