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.
