Katherine Heigl smokes a silver “Hendu Elite” smokestik while taking a film break on the set of One For The Money on Thursday (July 15) in Pittsburgh, Penn.
The 32-year-old electronic cigarette smoker will portray Stephanie Plum, an unemployed lingerie buyer Stephanie Plum who becomes a bounty hunter to make ends meet.
The flick is being helmed by Julie Anne Robinson, who directed on-and-off-screen couple Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth in The Last Song.

Kathy Sippo doesn’t miss the stench from an ashtray, isn’t worried about South Carolina’s higher cigarette tax and she isn’t replacing lighters that she’s lost.
But, she’s still getting the satisfaction of smoking.
Sippo, who smoked at least a pack of cigarettes a day for 10 years, started using an electronic cigarette a month ago.
“I still carry a pack with me, but so far I haven’t used it,” she said. “I absolutely love (e-cigarettes).”

]]>Paris Hilton Seen Smoking In Club Despite Ban

Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN) – Paris Hilton has been spotted smoking indoors of a Los Angeles club despite California’s ban on smoking. However, it seems that the hotel heiress has an excuse. The stick she was holding was actually exempted from the ban.
According to reports, the 29-year-old socialite was puffing a SmokeStik. After her father Richard Hilton allegedly said he was unhappy with his daughter’s casual smoking, she thought she needed to switch to an e-cigarette to satisfy her nicotine cravings without upsetting her father.
She joins other celebrities who have been spotted with the e-cig, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Britney Spears, and Simon Cowell.
Meanwhile, Hilton, who had launched an album in 2006, is said to be re-launching her pop career. Speculations arose when she said last week that she visited songwriter and music producer Linda Perry.
She wrote: “Went and visited Linda Perry at her studio. She is so cool and her studio is incredible! I respect her so much as a producer, what a talent!”

PARTY queen Paris Hilton is the latest A-list celebrity to quit smoking.
And Paris Hilton is setting the trend in high profile circles for quitting the bad habit and has been spotted smoking another little device instead.
The heiress – who has infamously wrapped people around her little finger on reality TV show The Simple Life – was seen sucking up to the stylish SmokeStik in a trendy LA club.
E-cig in hand, the blonde bombshell has also influenced the likes of Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Leonardo Di Caprio, who have all followed suit.
But it’s not just the yanks who have caught onto the puffing craze.
Stars on this side of the pond, including Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding, actor Rhys Ifans and music mogul Simon Cowell, are clutching on to the nicotine-free sticks too.
Now the creators are challenging all Brits to kick the habit once and for all.
Others are turning the ban into a business opportunity. As it stands now, you can’t smoke inside Genesys, but there is a designated smoking area for patients only.
On Saturday that will no longer be allowed. And the non-smoking rules will get even stricter in July.
As more and more places go smoke-free, smokers are finding interesting ways to try and kick the habit.
Some are turning to what’s known as an “E Cigarette.” It looks like a real one but it’s basically an electronic cigarette that emits a vapor-like smoke.
It doesn’t contain tobacco but it does have nicotine. A company by the name of “Smoking Everywhere” sells the E Cigarette at Genesee Valley Center.
An E Cigarette costs anywhere from $100 to $150 then an additional $15 for a packet of five filters. One filter lasts you about the same as a two pack of regular cigarettes.
