Cut! Poldark star's e-cig habit brings filming to a halt as crew 'get annoyed with constant vaping'

From his hat to his breeches, Aidan Turner looks the epitome of the 18th century country gent as he returns to his role as Captain Ross Poldark.
Until, that is, you notice one prop that isn’t exactly befitting a Cornish squire – a large e-cigarette glued to his hand.
Turner’s obsession with the ‘vaping’ machine has apparently disrupted filming for the second series of the BBC period drama after it wound up in shots supposed to portray 1790s England.
The leading man’s failure to part with the device is said to have irked his castmates – and a crew member has now been tasked with ensuring it is not in his hand or poking out of his pocket when cameras roll.
Even fans who have flocked to Cornwall for a glimpse of the 32-year-old heartthrob have not failed to notice his fixation with vaping, a habit often adopted by those trying to give up traditional cigarettes.
One onlooker said: ‘Aidan Turner has been using this big vaping device on set. On several occasions when they’ve said “action” he’s still had this thing in his hand.
'He’s puffing on it constantly. He’s never got it out of his mouth.
'It seems to have annoyed everyone. He’s playing the lead actor in a drama set in the 18th century… It looks a bit stupid.
‘Even when people are trying to do his make-up and get him ready he’s puffing on this thing. One time we even saw him discreetly puff the smoke out of his nose as he walked into shot.
