New York, NY (PRWEB) August 03, 2011 Many have never heard of Electronic Cigarettes, but it seems Hollywood took a puff and couldn't put it down! According to Puffweb.com, ever since Johnny Depp was depicted smoking an Ecig in "The Tourist", these devices have become the latest fad not only in Hollywood, but everywhere. Notable Celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio are switching from real cigarettes, to "Electronic Cigarettes". Whether it is a matter of convenience or health, these Hollywood heroes are taking in the vapor. According to a news article from splashnewsonline.com, Leo was even spotted smoking an Ecig while cycling in New York. Electronic Cigarettes are battery powered devices that, when puffed on, emit a pure nicotine vapor instead of traditional tobacco smoke. A user cannot smell the vapor at all, but they can taste it. In fact, many Ecig companies offer a variety of flavors like Chocolate and Strawberry. Users can also smoke these devices anywhere, including restaurants and movie theaters. They do not harm those nearby, and they do not burn or produce tar. Puffweb.com, the leading website for finding an electronic cigarette review, has tons of information on electronic cigarettes, the best and worst brands, and what to expect from each brand. The term "Vaping", is used to replace the traditional term "smoking". For instance, one might say that Johnny Depp was "Vaping" in "The Tourist", instead of smoking. Although the FDA has yet to conclude if Electronic Cigarettes are a "safer" alternative to regular cigarettes, according to an article from Puffweb.com, Ecig cartridges contain a liquid solution that atomizes when inhales to produce a vapor of pure nictotine. This eliminates the extra byproducts that are found in normal cigarettes, such as tar. Currently, the leading brand of electronic cigarettes is Greensmoke, though V2 Cigs have also been noted as an equally impressive brand. ### For the original version on PRWeb visit: www.prweb.com/releases/prwebcelebrities/electronic-cigarettes/prweb8685083.htm Read more: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2011/08/03/prweb8685083.DTL#ixzz1W3IK7Ea9
