Ever since adopting her daughter Naleigh last September, Katherine Heigl has been trying to kick her heavy smoking habit.
But it appeared as if she had lit up a cigarette on the set of her latest film One For the Money.
Or did she? It turns out that the Knocked Up star was in fact smoking an electronic cigarette between takes on the set in Pittsburgh.

Doing it for the baby: Katherine Heigl and daughter Naleigh out shopping. Katherine's trying to quit smoking for her baby
The 32-year-old actress has confessed to being a heavy smoker since she was 24, but vowed to quit after she and her husband Josh Kelly adopted Naleigh, now 19 months-old, from South Korea.
The e-cigarette is designed to still give smokers their required oral fixation and while it still provides nicotine, it's inhaled only as a vapour rather than smoke.
When not e-smoking between takes, Katherine was seen walking around holding a cup and dressed in black jeans, black boots and a denim jacket for her role in the film.
The natural blonde is also seen sporting dark hair for her latest role as Stephanie Plum, an out-of-work lingerie saleswoman whose husband leaves her.
She's then forced to take a job as a bail bonds woman to make ends meet.
Her Stephanie Plum character was made famous in a series of 18 novels by Janet Evanonvich.
The movie has been trying to get off the ground since the nineties with both Sandra Bullock and Reese Witherspoon rumoured to be attached to the project at one time or another.
However, it was Katherine who eventually landed the part and the project finally began filming in Pennsylvania last week.

On Sunday (March 8, 2009), Leo was seen puffing away at another e-cigarette while grabbing Chinese food with some friends in Los Angeles. He was wearing his favorite FAU cap and has said about it, “I have no idea [why I wear it] but I love baseball caps! This is the real reason I wear ’em: I just like the design and the pattern. People come up to me and say, ‘You went to FAU!’ Wait—this is Florida Atlantic University.”
Ryanair, the budget airline based in Dublin, Ireland, has started letting smokers have their intake of nicotine on board by “inhaling” smokeless cigarettes.

If you're a nicotine-addicted businessman or woman who longs for the days when you could light up on passenger flights, you're in luck.
The Irish airline Ryanair is now allowing passengers to smoke on its flights, according to a press release.
But nonsmokers need not cancel their reservations for fear of noxious fumes. The "smokeless" cigarettes are not lit - nicotine is inhaled directly.
Packs of 10 smokeless cigarettes will be sold to passengers 18 years of age and older for 6 euros (about $8.72) on all flights.
The discount airline stated that it is catering to the more than 24,000 passengers who expressed a wish to be able to smoke during flights.
The smokeless cigarettes "can ensure a more enjoyable and stress-free flight for all passengers as nonsmokers will no longer have to cope with moody smokers in need of nicotine," the press release stated.

Ryanair to allow passengers to 'smoke' onboard with Similar Smokeless Cigarettes
Ryanair, the World’s favourite airline, today (20th Sept) announced that smokers no longer have to worry about long flights without a cigarette as it launches a new range of Smokeless Cigarettes to ensure passengers get their required nicotine hit without breaking the law by ‘lighting up’ onboard their aircraft.
In a recent survey over 24,000 Ryanair passengers said they would like to smoke during flights. However, smoking on commercial flights has been illegal since the 1990’s but now to cater to passengers’ demands Ryanair has introduced Similar Smokeless Cigarettes, which look and feel like a real cigarette and deliver a small amount of nicotine through inhalation – passengers do not light the ‘cigarette’.
Ryanair’s new Similar Smokeless Cigarettes are available to passengers over 18 years of age and are sold in packs of 10 onboard all Ryanair flights for just €6. Similar Smokeless Cigarettes contain no toxins or chemicals and are harmless to the user and to those around them.
Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said,
“Ryanair’s low fares, unrivalled punctuality, least lost bags and fewest cancelations of any major European airline deliver exactly what passengers want. Now, to help passengers who like to smoke and find it difficult to travel on an aircraft for a couple of hours without getting their nicotine hit Ryanair has launched Similar Smokeless Cigarettes.
Ryanair’s Smokeless Cigarettes deliver a similar level of nicotine to traditional cigarettes and are available in packs of 10 for just €6. As these cigarettes are smokeless they cause no discomfort to other passengers and can ensure a more enjoyable and stress free flight for all passengers as non-smokers will no longer have to cope with moody smokers in need of nicotine.”
Smokeless Director Chris Parsons said,
“Yet another first for Ryanair – now it’s also the smokers’ favourite airline.
