The 24-year-old has kicked tobacco in favour of fake cigarettes, which use vapour and nicotine to help quell smokers' cravings, reports contactmusic.com.

And Efron indulged himself by taking his gadget with him on a night out in New York last week , but reportedly couldn't help sneaking out for the real thing midway through the evening.

"He was puffing on the electric cigarette with friends in a back corner booth but then he went outside and walked down the block to sneak cigarettes," said a source.
