Electronic cigarettes can be aptly described as mere hatchling products that are yet to grow and develop. However, just like a celebrity baby being followed by the paparazzi, these products are indeed very controversial and popular. The world is virtually swept off its feet by electronic cigarettes. Proponents and opponents of all kinds are drawn and attracted by electronic cigarettes. Not only are normal citizen involved in them, even celebrities are not spotted using them in public. Some of them are even investing money on some electronic cigarette brands.

Weeks before this, Bruno Mars posted a tweet and a photo of himself using the NJOY electronic cigarette. According to him, his switch from smoking to vaping was because of his mom.

Britney Spears
Spears once made it to the news and scrutiny of other people when she was seen smoking with her own kids nearby. Yet, she probably realized how much harm she is exposing her kids into so she switched to electronic cigarettes.
Kate Moss

Johnny Depp
The famous Captain Jack Sparrow, who also starred with Angelina Jolie in the film, The Tourist, had scenes in the said movie where he was seen vaping and powering up the device. Once scene was even filmed on a train, which suggests that vaping is more pleasant than smoking when travelling.

Leonardo DiCaprio
Played Jack in the film Titanic, Dicaprio was seen vaping while biking in New York. According to him, he started the switch when the products were distributed during the British Film Awards.
These starts are just a few of the famous people who were also drawn to the lure of electronic cigarettes. These celebrities are just a few of the supporters of the device, which many believe as a safer and healthier alternative to smoking.
Nonetheless, if there are supporters, the audience of electronic cigarettes also involved detractors and opponents in the persona of health regulators and government officials. These people oppose what supporters believe about electronic cigarettes. According to them, the products are not approved to be effective and safe. More studies are necessary to confirm this. Thus, despite popular use among normal citizens and Hollywood stars, the use of these devices are banned and prohibited in many places not just in the US, but also in other countries worldwide.
