PHOTOS: Jon Gosselin Smokes At LAX

While his soon to be ex wife Kate got in a bit of early Christmas shopping in Reading, Pennsylvania Thursday, Jon Gosselin was snapped enjoying a cigarette break while on a layover at LAX airport.

Jon definitely looked like he enjoyed his nicotine fix as he sucked down his cigarette outside the airport.

It's been a stressful few days for Jon, as RadarOnline.com exclusively reported the single dad of 8 has hit back at his ex employers TLC with a bombshell $5 million countersuit accusing the cable giants of exploiting his children and trying to prevent him from making a living.
