Quit smoking, girlfriend tells Simon Cowell

Los Angeles: Music mogul Simon Cowell`s girlfriend Lauren Silverman has urged him to quit smoking before their baby is born.

The brunette beauty wants him to reduce his 40-a-day habit when their baby arrives, reports contactmusic.com.

"Lauren`s demanding that Simon gives up smoking, or at least cuts down. She`s already tried to ban him from smoking when he`s with her and wants him to cut down on alcohol as well, in time for the baby`s arrival," a source told Heat magazine.

However, if a spokesperson of Cowell is to be believed, the latter has no plans to give up on smoking.

"Simon`s still smoking - he`ll probably just go in the garden when the baby is born," said the source.
