10) Simon Cowell
Simon Cowell is one of the media moguls and loudmouthed judges on America's Got Talent who has been smoking away like a tobacco-chewing industrial machine for a long time. He used to smoke 80 cigarettes a day, or so people go around shaking their heads in wonder at his health. Cowell's smoking habit often reinforces his macho image-almost as brazen as some of the no-nonsense critiques on TV. Although he's only recently attempted to quit the behavior, the earlier addiction has been the subject of heated debate in the media.
How Cowell deals with his public image, given personal decisions, has reminded the world of the tough challenges life presents to him who chooses to live in the public eye.
