Tobacco is notoriously bad for your health, but Jared Followill has discovered e-cigarettes are not as safe as they seem.
The Kings Of Leon bassist touched down in Dubai with his family band on Wednesday, and carried his trusty e-cig through the airport without a second thought.
What star didn't realise was that the devices are banned in the middle eastern country - at least not until he was approached by some sinister looking airport security guards.
The authorities take their rules on the digital fags so seriously that Jared almost found himself banged up abroad, but he managed to talk his way out of it and took to his Twitter account to tell fans about his terrifying run-in with the law.
He writes, "Just had the life scared out of me at security in Dubai. Apparently it's not just my bros (brothers) who think e-cigs (sic) are uncool. Almost locked up abroad."
It looks like a visit to Dubai might be the only time when a traditional tobacco-filled smoke is recommended.
