BEING wined, dined and showered with luxurious gifts might sound like a dream come true, but for this woman there’s a rule she won’t break when it comes to being a sugar baby.
Nova Jewels, 27, from Scotland, who previously worked as a wedding coordinator, now has a less traditional career rinsing money out of men.
Since switching careers, Nova has amassed over £50,000 worth of trips abroad and posh gifts, all from her roster of sugar daddies.
“I go on trips and holidays to beautiful locations, five-star living and getting money throwing at me left, right and centre.
“Having a sugar daddy is an absolute dream and it is so much fun, especially when they are sexy as hell,” she revealed.
Currently, she has two sugar daddies who treat her to the finer things in life.
And even though they spend a small fortune on her, she doesn’t even need to ask for it a lot of the time.
Sometimes she’ll be doing her own thing and relaxing when one of them will randomly transfer her £500 to treat herself with, Nova said.
But despite the extravagant spending, there’s a type of bloke no amount of luxurious gifts or first class flights could tempt her to get involved with.
“I’ve dated a smoker before and it’s absolutely horrible,” she told the Daily Star.
In fact, Nova said the upcoming smoking ban will have “no impact” on her “flirting life” because they’ve “done the perfect job at repelling me anyway.”
That said, she did admit the smoking areas of pubs and bars seem to be a great place for people to meet and get to know each other – but those people will now have to find a spark elsewhere.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced back in august that smoking in pub gardens could be banned, leaving many people reeling.
The proposed ban would reportedly see lighting up stubbed out at outdoor restaurants, open-air spaces at clubs, and pavements next to both.
It could also apply outside universities, hospitals, sports grounds, kids’ play areas and small parks.
But for Nova the potential ban is nothing but good news.
As far as she’s concerned dating a smoker, sugar daddy or not, leaves a bad taste in her mouth.
In fact, kissing a smoker is something that’s “so disgusting” to her, especailly because she’s keen on men who prioritise dental hygiene
The other problem with men who smoke is they often will leave you alone while they go to enjoy their cigarette outside, Nova explained.
“It’s just not the vibe that I look for in someone,” she said.
Smoking isn’t the only thing that gives her the ick either, she confessed drunk men are a big turn off for her too.

Smoking vs. vaping
VAPING has been touted as an effective tool to help people quit smoking.
Though vaping is substantially less harmful than smoking, the habit isn’t completely harmless and comes with its own set of risks.
The NHS only recommends it for adult smokers, to support quitting smoking.
GP and author Dr Philippa Kaye explained to The Sun that the differences between vaping and smoking – and whether one is better than the other – is “complicated”.
“In a nutshell, vaping is better than smoking, but breathing air is better than vaping at all.”
Vaping exposes users to far fewer toxins – and at lower levels – than smoking cigarettes.
Switching to vaping significantly reduces your exposure to toxins that can cause cancer, lung disease, and diseases of the heart and circulation like heart attack and stroke.
These diseases are not caused by nicotine, which is relatively harmless to health. But research has still linked vaping to a higher risk of failure and lung disease.
Health risks of cigarettes
- Smokers are more likely than nonsmokers to develop heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer
- Smokers are at greater risk for diseases that affect the heart and blood vessels
- Smoking can cause lung disease by damaging your airways and the small air sacs
- Smoking can cause cancer almost anywhere in your body
- It affects overall health too, such as your mouth, eyes, immune system and fertility
Health risks of vaping
- They can cause side effects such as throat and mouth irritation, headache, cough and feeling sick
- They could lead to tooth decay
- They could damage heart health
- They could cause lung disease
- They could slow brain development
