Chelsea full-back Ashley Cole reportedly 'smokes heavily' when the football season is over.

The England international was recently spotted puffing on a cigarette while leaving his rented home in Los Angeles.

It is believed that the 32-year-old enjoys smoking while away on holiday, even though some of his friends have expressed their dislike in his habit, according to The Sun.

Jose Mourinho, who is Cole's manager for the second time, previously dropped Real Madrid player Fabio Coentrao when he was photographed smoking at his birthday party.
