Sales of e-cigarettes are expected to soar to a 100 million high in the UK by the end of 2013, after they were endorsed by celebrities, like Cheryl Cole and Johnny Depp.

Hollywood celebs, including Robert Pattinson and Lindsay Lohan, have been snapped puffing on the high-tech electric fags, the Daily Star reported.

The 'Fight For This Love' hit maker had recently posted a picture of herself holding a blueberry-flavored version of the e-cigs from UK brand '5 Colors'.

Around 1.3 million Brits have now started using the battery-powered devices that have no tar and carbon monoxide found in cigarettes.
