15 Celebs Who Enjoy Vaping
The jury might still be out on the safety of vaping with e-cigarettes vs. smoking conventional cigarettes, but that hasn’t stopped a number of big-name celebs from being unapologetic about their decision to vape. Whether they’ve been seen puffing away at big events back when e-cigs were still allowed or smoking in more casual environments, these celebs don’t seem to care if they’re being judged for their choice.
Perhaps we should just allow celebs to decide for themselves whether vaping is right for them, but the celebrity world is offering plenty of role models who make vaping seem like a glamorous version of smoking.

Check out our list of the top vaping celebs!
1. Leonardo DiCaprio
Having already been labelled the “vaping boss of Hollywood” in 2017, Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio was never shy about his own vaping habit. He was first seen in public as far back as 2009 when vaping was still in its infancy. DiCaprio was often seen at public events with his vape in hand, including an appearance at the 2016 Screen Actors Guild awards for The Revenant. He has been known to ruffle the feathers of the American Lung Association, who called his habit “deeply troubling.”
2. Johnny Depp
Another seasoned celeb vaper is Johnny Depp, who happened to star with Leo in the 1993 film What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? Depp brings his habit onto the screen with him, having been seen puffing an e-cig in his 2010 film, The Tourist, opposite Angelina Jolie. Depp had quit smoking but began again after making that movie.
3. Britney Spears
While some people might find vaping to be “toxic,” the singer of that 2003 hit song doesn't! has frequently been seen out and about puffing away on an e-cig. Of all the celebs who vape, Britney has the most pictures of herself out there hitting the vape pipe one more time.
4. Lindsay Lohan
Another child actor from the Disney stable who has been seen with e-cig in mouth is Lindsay Lohan. She found herself on house arrest in 2010 when she invited her friendly neighborhood paparazzi over to take candid snaps of her puffing away while doing some reading. Lohan switched to vaping for a period to help kick her smoking habit, which didn’t seem to last. Her regular smoking breaks became “disruptive” while filming the Aussie version of The Masked Singer in 2019.
5. Bruno Mars
Like many pop stars, the multiple award-winning singer-songwriter has dabbled in vaping in order to give up smoking altogether. Mars started smoking e-cigs in 2013 — “This is for you mom,” he posted on Twitter. In his hand is Mars’ vape of choice, NJoy, and as it turns out, Mars even invested in the company.
6. Katy Perry
It may or may not surprise some people how many singers try to avoid smoking unless they’re puffing away on an e-cigarette. Back in 2013, Katy Perry was caught at a Labor Day party with a beer in one hand and e-cigarette in the other. Maybe that was just a special occasion?
7. Robert Pattinson
The former star of The Twilight Saga and the next actor to star as The Batman, England’s Robert Pattinson has always been fairly laissez-faire about his lifestyle choices, and that includes the times he’s been spotted with a vape between his lips.
8. Katherine Heigl
Former Gray’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl went so far as to talk at length about her decision to smoke e-cigarettes when she appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman back in 2010. She discussed how it’s the only way she’s been able to give up smoking regular cigarettes.
9. Jack Nicholson
Jack Nicholson may be considered the epitome of old school Hollywood cool. He stays cool by staying up with and creating trends. Even his decision to smoke e-cigarettes is much more in line with younger actors like DiCaprio. Interestingly, the two Oscar winners appeared in Martin Scorsese’s The Departed together in 2006.
10. Cara Delevingne
England’s Cara Delevingne has been a model, an actress and even a singer. We can also add “vaper” to her credits as the Carnival Row star has been seen at various events puffing away at an e-cigarette, most famously with Michelle Rodriguez.
11. Paris Hilton
The heiress has had all sorts of jobs — from acting to singing and modelling — while remaining a hugely popular media celebrity. Like so many other celebs who try to be in style, Hilton has been caught on camera a few times with an e-cig between her lips.
12. Charlie Sheen
Although Charlie Sheen spent many years on the road to recovery from drug and alcohol abuse, it didn’t stop him from introducing a line of cannabis-infused vape products in 2019, called “Sheenius.” Talking to DailyMail TV, the Two and a Half Men star said that he was told, “‘We see your name so ingrained in the marijuana industry,’ … I’ve never made a nickel off of it. That didn’t seem fair.”
13. Isla Fisher
Isla Fisher, the Australian actor who first broke big with the comedy The Wedding Crashers — and who happens to be married to Sacha Baron Cohen — is one of the women in Hollywood who is a known vape user both on and off screen. One of the movies in which Fisher can be seen smoking an e-cig is the 2013 action movie, Now You See Me.
14. Sienna Miller
A talented British actor with a lot of range, Sienna Miller has often been seen on sets vaping in between takes. Miller's most memorable vaping moment was at the 2013 Oscars when Ben Affleck’s Argo won Best Picture, and the cameras caught her with e-cig in hand. Miller happened to costar in Affleck’s next movie, Live by Night, four years later.
15. Courtney Love
The Hole frontwoman has become fairly notorious for her chain-smoking habit, but In 2013, Courtney Love teamed with NJOY for a 50-second commercial after the company learned of Love’s passion for the brand via Twitter. She even created her own slogan for the e-cig brand, as she says to the camera, “Relax, it’s a f--ing NJOY.”
