Jim Simons got so tired of paying these, he bought a private plane to save money. To say he was a prolific smoker is an understatement.

I assumed you were talking about who I know as james Simons, but just googled him to make sure there wasn't someone else, and yeah - first pic on Google is him with a cigarette. Also learned it was lung cancer that took him out, though he did make it to 86 which isn't bad.
Then there's George Harrison, who died of lung cancer way too young.
Gross.
