According to TMZ, the American Lung Association also declared the actor's conduct "deeply troubling." They claimed vape pens expose others to secondhand dangers including cancer.
This, however, created a debate. "Well done @LeoDiCaprio for not smoking & great to see your using a half decent tank #ecigs #vaping," tweeted a fan who supported the actor. Another wrote, "@LungAssociation are you actually TRYING to keep people smoking? #wronghorse."
Leonardo DiCaprio won big at the SAGs. He grabbed the Best Actor prize for his portrayal as fur trapper Hugh Glass in "The Revenant". He also won a Golden Globe and is vying for the Oscar.
