Let’s be honest, vaping has totally become a part of celeb culture over the last few years. Whether it’s at music festivals, in paparazzi pics, or even onstage (looking at you, Lana), A-listers have been spotted puffing away and making it look kinda aesthetic.
For those who don’t know, vaping is basically inhaling vapor from an electronic device like a Juul or vape pen. It’s not smoking, but it’s still a thing that looks cool to some and questionable to others.
Some of these girlies have been very open about it, some have tried to quit, and some just casually hit a vape on camera. Let’s dive into the 6 celebrities who have been seen doing the thing.
A List of Celebrities Who Were Spotted Vaping
1. Doja Cat
Doja’s probably one of the most talked-about celebs when it comes to vaping. She’s been seen pulling hits at the Met Gala in 2023, and in candid moments, but it got real when she ended up in the hospital for tonsil surgery and blamed her vape use (and wine) for an infected growth.
She tweeted about how intense the surgery was — like “I cried and it hurt a lot but I’m ok.” She even said, “Im quitting the vape for a while and hopefully i don’t crave it anymore” after the whole ordeal.
But it seems Doja might’ve picked it back up later because she joked to comedian Caleb Pressley in 2025 that she “likes smoking it most with Raisinets.”
2. Katy Perry
Some stars lean toward Juul (which Selena Gomez was rumored to be using), while others keep it way more low-key with Discount Vape Pen or an e-go twist — which Katy was once spotted using at her 2013 Labor Day party. Katy’s never been afraid to lean into a little controversy, and vaping fits right into that unapologetic energy.
That said, Katy’s life has shifted a lot with motherhood and lifestyle changes, and she’s mentioned quitting smoking and drinking around pregnancy, so it’s not clear how current her vaping habit is now.
3. Bella Hadid
Bella Hadid is yet another celebrity who vapes. The supermodel has been spotted with vape pens in paparazzi and social content over the years, and in early 2019 she even announced a New Year’s resolution to quit using her JUUL.
As a star who suffers from chronic disease (Bella often shares her struggles with Lyme disease), it kinda sucks that she’s been part of the vaping scene. Whether it was a habit that stuck for a while or something she’s actively tried to quit, it’s clear she’s been around it — but she’s definitely better off leaving it in the past.
4. Lana Del Rey
Lana is the queen of vintage melancholy… and maybe vapes? At least, she’s become infamous for it. During her shows, she’s actually paused performances to ask the crowd if anyone saw her lost vape. “If you see my vape on stage, can you find my vape on stage?” she asked the crowd at the MITA Festival in 2023.
Her Flum Gio vape was even spotted slotted into her mic stand back in 2023. Like, that’s how iconic it’s become.
Jack Antonoff even noted her vape sounds ended up in the studio recordings because she was literally puffing while singing sometimes. So… yeah, Lana’s integrated it into her vibe so much that fans know the deal.
5. Dua Lipa
Dua’s name also comes up in lists of celebrities who vape, especially during chill moments or Instagram Stories — and she’s been linked to the trend alongside other pop stars.
The Levitating star cut back on smoking for health reasons in the past (like to protect her voice for touring), but was spotted smoking again with her fiancé Callum Turner in Paris just last year. So with vaping it might be more casual/low-key than headline-grabbing like Doja’s, but it has been part of her public life.
6. Kylie Jenner
Can you really have a celeb vape list without Kylie? The makeup mogul and reality TV star has snapchatted herself blowing vape rings, basically normalizing it for a whole generation of fans.
That clip where she’s just vibing in her car with a vape? It’s basically iconic at this point. She’s made it look like a chill, everyday thing, whether you stan that or roll your eyes.
So there you have it. A swipe through six famous celebrities who’ve been seen vaping in public, on socials, or even in professional settings.
Some have tried to quit due to health scares, others have evolved past it, and some still keep it as part of their personal aesthetic. The influence is real and the reactions are mixed, but one thing’s for sure: the internet will never let you forget it.
