Zac Efron tries to quit smoking

London: Actor Zac Efron is trying to give up his smoking habit by puffing on an electronic cigarette.

The 24-year-old has kicked tobacco in favour of fake cigarettes, which use vapour and nicotine to help quell smokers` cravings, reports a website. 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. IANS
