As fickle as it may sound, celebrity endorsement can have a profoundly positive effect on the success of a product or cultural movement. While vaping has been slowly engrained in the mainstream conscious, the appearance of noted celebrities ‘vaping’ has given the lifestyle choice some well deserved publicity. Here’s our shortlist of respected celebrity vapers…

Carrie Fisher

You may know… alright, yes, it’s Princess Leia, of course you know her. Carrie has always been one of brazen wit but her smoking and drug addictions have had a turbulent effect on her career over the last 30 years. In a fascinating interview on The Today Show back in 2011, Carrie was seen contently chuffing away on her e-cig for a good 6 minutes. The show allowed it, encouraged it even and all was well for Carrie.

Courtney Love

Think what you like about her outlandish and abrasive personality but she’s the brains behind Hole’s seminal album ‘Live Through This’ and inspiration for countless alternative bands since. The rock and roll vixen was seen embracing vaping culture in a popular American TV ad for e-cig brand NJOY back in 2013. The tasteful imagery offered an attractive vintage aesthetic, further elevating e-cigs cultural repertoire.

Leonardo DiCaprio

The Wolf of Wall Street star has been seen numerous times out and about with his e-cig. While his life on film may depict one of gross excess, in reality he appears to embrace healthy methodical choices. As one of the highest earning actors out there, he has consistently shown his humane tendencies through environmental activism, gay rights and of course… vaping.

Dominic Howard

Muse drummer Dominic Howard has been seen numerous times with an e-cig, even catching the eye of cantankerous Britpop grouch Noel Gallagher who blasted his use in the NME. We have nothing but respect for Dominic’s choice and if anything Noel’s pathetic put down only left Dominic looking the bigger man. It’s well documented that Noel is a fervent smoker, leaving us with the impression that e-cigs are rustling the feathers of complacent traditional smokers rather nicely!

Any you’d add? Did anybody influence you to make the move to vaping?
