Liam Payne receives backlash for smoking on private jet

Los Angeles: One Direction star Liam Payne shocked his fans by posting a picture of him holding a cigarette, suggesting he's smoking on a private jet.

In the black-and-white picture, Payne was sitting near a window of his private jet. The 22-year-old singer wore a long-sleeved check shirt and a black hat. While giving a mysterious and cool gaze to the camera, Payne showed tattoos on his right arm which held a cigarette.

Fans were furious about the provoking picture. They took to the social media to ask the star to stop his smoking habit.

Fan @niallphliamLiam calmly advised him, "I love you, your so hot but that's bad for your health and your much hotter if you stop that! But I also respect your decision I cant control you, that's your life!"

Another fan @xx_gigi.1d_xx wrote, "You ppl are Letting him die and have cancer." Similarly, fan @_amazingmelissa_ said, "LIAM WHY YOU BE SMOKING LIKE NOOO HONEYYYY." Fan @valeriadepayne simply commented, "DONT SMOKE."
