Once upon a time, smoking was fashionable; however, the numerous health complications attached to it have meant that this is no longer the case. In a bid to eradicate cigarettes from modern existence, the top vapes have come into play. Consequently, a number of celebs have made the switch to vapes, resulting in vaping becoming the new trend.
This isn’t to say that if you’re not a smoker, you should start vaping. While vapes are the better alternative, they are by no means good for you. Therefore, they should merely be used as an avenue to quit smoking rather than being taken up as something trendy.
To that avail, detailed below are some of the most famous celebs who have taken this route to quit smoking.
Johnny Depp
First up is Johnny Depp, who was dominating the media not too long ago. He has shared in magazine interviews that vaping has provided him with a healthier alternative to smoking. His motivation to quit smoking and start vaping was quite simple; he said he was trying to wean himself off things that were killing him. The cigarettes he was smoking were hand rolled in Mexico and cost $30 a piece, but the biggest problem was that he believed these cigarettes would be the death of him. Soon, he’ll be able to wean himself off vaping, too.
Tom Hardy
A cigarette used to be a part of Tom Hardy’s hard man image; however, this all changed when his doctor informed him that smoking was putting him at risk of cancer. While Hardy hasn’t openly spoken about vaping, he has been spotted numerous times with his vape pen.
What’s more, since cigarettes are no longer in style, they’re not required to maintain any sort of image. Instead, it’s all about coming off as fit, healthy, and happy. It’s safe to say that priorities are shifting in the right direction.
Prince Harry
Prince Harry has smoked cigarettes for upwards of 20 years, and he has been public about his decision to quit. In a bid to remove cigarettes from his life, he has made the switch to e-cigarettes. This is probably the better option for someone of Prince Harry’s calibre; after all, he has a number of important people to meet. During these meet-and-greets, the last thing the prince will need is to be smelling of cigarettes. Thankfully, vapes smell relatively pleasant, and the scent doesn’t linger for as long as that of cigarette smoke.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio has smoked since he was a teenager; however, he made the switch to vaping a few years ago. He commented that he couldn’t remember the last time he had a cigarette and even spoke on his reasonings for quitting smoking and starting vaping. Essentially, making the move to vaping wasn’t about vanity; it was about health. Similarly, he saw smoking as quite a social activity, with all his friends heading outside to smoke. With a vape, he’s able to join them; however, his health isn’t as compromised as if he was smoking cigarettes.
Samuel L Jackson
Last but not least is Samuel L Jackson, who makes no secret of his love for vaping. He started vaping as a mode of quitting smoking; however, he loves it now. He even joked that he no longer has time to write screenplays as he spends his days sat vaping. What’s more, he’s a great advocate for older people who are often stuck in their ways; he could be what drives a number of older people to quit smoking and start vaping instead. It’s not perfect, but it’s a step in the right direction.
