Katherine Heigl, Paris Hilton, Leonardo Dicaprio, Johnny Depp, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Tom Petty and more use e-cigs.
The e-cigarette looks like a cigarette but offers vapor rather than smoke.  Read how it works here. South Beach Starter kits are $30 to $160 and equal about seven or eight packs of cigarettes.
Here's what WebMD says. I don't want to see anyone smoking, but these things are making news.
