Justin Bieber risked the ire of the law as he was caught vaping in French restaurant Coucou with his wife Hailey in West Hollywood.
Vaping is illegal in California as it falls under the states prohibition on e-cigarette use in workplaces and many public spaces since 2016.
The singer, 31, appeared to be in high spirits while dining with his wife Hailey, 28, and a group of friends, as the model handed him a vape to use.
Justin was dressed casually for the evening in a grey vest which showed off his array of tattoos and a green and yellow striped hat.
Hailey sported a black long-sleeved top and styled her brunette locks into an updo as she enjoyed a private dinner with her partner.

The couple appeared in good spirits as they laughed and joked with their friends and hugged them goodbye at the end of the evening.
Justin and Hailey’s marriage came under scrutiny this past year, and new music even alluded to some trouble in paradise.
But the pair are ‘in a much better place’ following the release of the pop singer’s latest album, according to Us Weekly.
An insider revealed that the previous issues in their relationship were linked to Justin’s dedication to recording his album Swag. However, now that the album has been released, the ‘tension has eased.’
‘The intense focus and emotional stress of creating new music caused a rift in their marriage,’ the source explained. ‘When Justin is in the studio, he becomes completely engrossed and neglects everything else.’
Ever since Swag was released on July 11, the couple’s relationship has experienced improvement, according to Us.
According to the source, Hailey and Justin have managed to ‘re-establish a connection’ on a trip to Idaho with their nearly one-year-old son, Jack Blues.
‘Both of them feel relieved,’ the insider mentioned, noting that Justin has recently been ‘in a better mental state’ and ‘very pleased’ with the positive response to his album.
In California, vaping is prohibited under state regulations banning e-cigarette use in workplaces and various public areas since 2016.

The source also said that Hailey has been approaching things ‘day by day’ and has been ‘very patient’ with her spouse.
‘There’s still work to be done in their marriage,’ the insider told Us, ‘but they’re in a much better place.’
Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Justin and Hailey about the Us Weekly report but did not immediately hear back.
Justin’s surprise seventh studio album, SWAG, was released to critical acclaim on July 11.
Several songs make mention of his public persona, personal struggles, and his commitment to his wife Hailey and their baby son Jack Blues, who will celebrate his first birthday on August 22.
There is also a theme of interludes featuring comedian Druski, during which Justin engages in candid ‘therapy sessions’ with the social media star.
The album also appears to allude to a challenging time between the couple, who have been married since 2018.
After months of rumors about the state of the A-list couple’s marriage amid concern for Justin’s well-being he has vowed to ‘change’ for his wife following a rocky period.

A source said the alleged strain stemmed from Justin’s efforts recording Swag – however with the album now out, the ‘tension has settled’
In the album’s second track, Daisies, Justin appears to be singing about him and Hailey being at loggerheads and failing to communicate clearly.
The lyrics read: ‘Throwin’ petals like, “Do you love me or not?” / Head is spinnin’, and it don’t know when to stop / You said “Forever,” babe, did you mean it or not? / Hold on, hold on.
‘You leave me on read, babe, but I still get the message / Instead of a line it’s three dots, but I can connect them / And if it ain’t right, babe, you know I respect it / But if you need time, just take your time / Honey, I get it, I get it, I get it.’
In track 10 of the 21-song track list, titled Walking Away, Justin sings about the couple ‘taking a break’ and ‘testing patience.’
‘Days go by so fast, don’t wanna spend them with you / So tell me why you’re throwing stones at my back / You know I’m defenseless,’ he sings in the first verse.
‘Girl, we better stop before we say some s*** / We’ve been testing our patience / I think we better off if we just take a break,’ he continues.
But the chorus and subsequent verses paint a picture of their enduring love despite strife.
‘Baby, I ain’t walking away / You were my diamond / Gave you a ring / I made you a promise / I told you, I’d change / It’s just human nature / These growing pains / And baby, I ain’t walking away,’ he sings in the chorus.
Ahead of the album’s release, Hailey had some choice words for their fans as she took to social media to promote it.
She took aim at the ‘losers’ who’ve speculated about their relationship as she re-posted a photo of Justin’s massive Swag billboard in NYC’s Times Square, captioned: ‘Is it finally clocking to you f***ing losers?’
The source also said that Hailey has been approaching things ‘day by day’ and has been ‘very patient’ with her spouse. ‘There’s still work to be done in their marriage,’ the insider told Us, ‘but they’re in a much better place’
She appeared to suggest that Justin’s recent bizarre behavior wasn’t the result of any marriage troubles but due to him being hard at work on his long-awaited music, which he partially recorded in Iceland back in April.
Justin and Hailey will celebrate their only child, son Jack’s, first birthday on August 22.
They have maintained the tot’s privacy by opting not to share his face with the world, strategically only sharing photos that give fans small glimpses of him.
The heir made his music video debut days ago as he appeared in the visualizer for his dad’s hit song Yukon.
In her Vogue cover story in May, she shared about their little one: ‘We don’t take him to a lot of places.
‘We don’t want anyone to…. I mean, you’ve just got to see how invasive it all is. It feels mean to put a baby into that.’
