Here are some well-known stars who are open about vaping – many of whom attribute it to helping them quit smoking.
Barry Manilow
Rock legend Barry Manilow was seen leaving his farewell concert at The London Palladium on Tuesday night, using a vape.
The singer, 80, looked in good spirits as he climbed into his waiting car, vape in hand, while wearing a discreet hearing aid.
He was also photographed in 2021, during Covid lockdowns, lifting up a face mask to take a puff on a vape.
Adele
Adele, the Grammy Award-winning singer known for her powerful vocals and emotional ballads, has always been open about her struggles with smoking and attempts to quit.
The 36-year-old once smoked 25 cigarettes a day and said she feared the habit would kill her. In recent years, she has been photographed vaping, suggesting that she has used it as a healthier tool to help her stop smoking.
In 2019, Adele and boyfriend Drake rented out an entire 32-lane bowling alley and visited a vape lounge.
Sean Bean
Former Game of Thrones star Sean Bean got into a scuffle with security guards in Liverpool last week for vaping in a nightclub.
The 65-year-old screen legend is in the city filming a new TV drama. He was ejected from the Tom Thumb pub on Friday night after allegedly taking a drag from the vape while sitting in a booth.
Security staff at the venue are said to have manhandled the former Sharpe star and dragged him outside.
Lady Gaga
Singer, songwriter and actor Lady Gaga is said to have switched to vaping to help her kick a 40-a-day smoking habit.
The Poker Face singer took to social media to share her thought process, writing that when her mind tells her she needs a cigarette, she will think «I’ll just vape» instead.
Katy Perry
Pop sensation Katy Perry has been spotted enjoying a vape in her downtime.
The singer – known for chart-topping songs I Kissed a Girl, Teenage Dream, and Firework – has also posted pictures of herself vaping on her Twitter/X account.
She famously shared a vape pen with actor Orlando Bloom at the Golden Globe awards in 2016.
Lana Del Rey
11-time Grammy nominee Lana Del Rey doesn’t like to be without her vape. She stopped her show at last year’s MITA Festival in Rio De Janeiro because she had lost one.
In a video of her viral interaction with the audience, the 37-year-old quickly paused her show to ask for her fans’ help to find her missing vape.
“And also if you see my vape onstage… Can you find my vape onstage,” she asked in between songs.
Zayn Malik
Zayn Malik, former One Direction singer and now solo artist, is a regular vaper. His cover shot for a special “sexy” edition of Paper Mag even showed him puffing his vape.
Isla Fisher
Actor and producer Isla Fisher is regularly spotted vaping in public. The 46-year-old, who is married to comedian Ali G, can also be seen taking a few puffs from a vape in her movie, Now You See Me.
