Nick Jonas Breaks A Record

Sep 11, 2019 | 6:04 AM

Nick Jonas fans are upset over his latest magazine cover.

The youngest Jonas Brother took to Twitter to share his new magazine cover for Cigar Aficionado, which hits stands on September 24th. The cover features the longtime cigar fan holding a cigar, while other pictures show him lighting one and taking a puff.

The magazine bragged that the cover had gotten more attention on social media than any one of their previous covers. The cover and another image from the magazine racked up combined likes of over one million on Nick’s Instagram page in just 24 hours.

“First person under 30 to hold a cigar on the cover of one of my favorite magazines,” Jonas tweeted Monday. “So pumped about this one! Thank you @CigarAficMag!”

But Jonas was met with backlash from his fans, who begged the singer to consider the health risks associated with smoking. According to the National Cancer Institute, cigar smoke “contains toxic and cancer-causing chemicals that are harmful to both smokers and nonsmokers.”

“Gross and irresponsible as a singer and a human raised knowing the health risks but okay,” one fan tweeted.

Other fans slammed Jonas for using his influential platform to promote a dangerous activity, such as smoking cigars. “I love you but smoking kills and it’d be smarter from you to not promote such a thing and make it look cool, cus it’s not,” another fan said.

One person simply said: “Disgusting and disappointing.”

Many followers posted out of concern for his health and his voice while others pointed out that he shouldn’t be smoking around his wife, Priyanka Chopra, who has asthma. Nick has type 1 diabetes.
