Celebrities and Electronic Cigarette

The news of Amy Winehouse succumbing to drug and tobacco addiction has rocked the world. Or perhaps we all knew what would be the end of such a story. Even the sudden revelation three years ago about Michael Douglas’s throat cancer was a big shock to his fans all over the world.

So what seems to be the main culprit behind such celebrity tragedies? Tobacco cigarette. And with the increase in such diseases among their peers, celebrities are now searching for alternatives that would keep them maintaining their habit of smoking and yet not pose such a threat to their health and beauty.
Electronic cigarette is the solution that celebrities have opted for. The first celebrity to have been photographed vaping electronic cigarette was Leonardo DiCaprio a few years back. That somehow brought the whole concept of celebrities and electronic cigarette.

Then we came to see a hoard of celebrities shifting from “analog” cigarette to “digital” electronic cigarette. Hollywood big shot like Johnny Depp was seen vaping electronic cigarette during the shoot of “The Tourist”. Then there are stars like Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene, Paris Hilton, Charlie Sheen and many others.

What was quite shocking was that when people saw the photograph of Lindsay Lohan vaping electronic cigarette. The actress who is famous for her devil-may-care attitude and controversial court cases related to alcohol and smoking. Choosing electronic cigarette must have helped Lindsay in recovering from her condition to a great extent.
The most recent public appearance of any Hollywood celebrity was Katherine Heigl, who on David Letterman’s late night show, lit up an electronic cigarette and asked the host to take a puff as well. Katherine has since been spotted quite a number of times ‘smoking’ electronic cigarette, in taxi, on shoot break and even ion the beach.

It was finally Catherine Zeta Jones who, having suffered a three year long tragedy for her husband’s throat cancer has shifted to electronic cigarette. She was spotted a few weeks earlier outside a restaurant in France smoking electronic cigarette.

The benefits of electronic cigarette are no longer a mystery to these celebrities and they take pride in being owners of something that keeps them happy and safe.
