8 celebrity smokers who made the switch to vaping

Leonardo DiCaprio is definitely one of the most well-known celebrity vapers to have successfully ditched the cigarettes.

But every year, more and more famous folk jump on board and embrace the tobacco alternative.

Back in his smoker days, DiCaprio insisted on keeping his habit a secret from his mother, Irmelin Indenbirken.

Photographer Steve Eichner met the then 20-year-old star who was joined by Johnny Depp at Club USA in New York in 1994.

Eichner said:

“[Leo] came over and tapped me on the shoulder and said, ‘Hey man, can you do me a favour and please don’t use that photo? You can take photos of me tonight.’ ”

When asked why, DiCaprio said:

“I was buying cigarettes, and I don’t want my mom to know that I smoke.”

DiCaprio was pictured at the 2016 Oscars vaping during the awards.

It seems that the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star was something of a trendsetter.
