Katherine Heigl is now banking on technology to control her addiction.

London: Hollywood beauty Katherine Heigl is a self-confessed "slave" to her smoking habit and is now banking on technology to control her addiction.The `Grey`s Anatomy` star is using an electronic cigarette to calm her cravings, reported Contactmusic.

The blonde beauty has battled with her addiction to tobacco since she was 24 years old, but vowed to quit last year after admitting she had become "a slave" to her habit. The 31-year-old was also pushed to stop smoking after becoming a mother to adopted daughter Naleigh in September, last year. But she hasn`t completely snubbed her dependency on nicotine. She was snapped puffing on a electronic cigarette on the set of her new film `One For The Money`. The device provides inhaled doses of nicotine through a vaporised solution so users don`t have to take back harmful smoke. PTI
