I might be behind the times here, but can you vape in a hospital? Especially in California?
I'm honestly not sure on that lol. I don't think the same rules apply due to it being vapor and whatnot, truly unsure, though. Thinking out loud, if ever there'd be a place it would be allowed, California sounds apt - moreso if he's getting special treatment of some kind, being an actor... /shrug
Something's definitely off here, but, I can't quite figure it out.
I can see that; there are some pretty strange, oftentimes contradictory laws and regulations in CA. I remember one time I visited Berkeley and I was told to put out my cigarette, while on the city streets, by a cop sucking down a cigar.
I'm obviously unsure of the law, but I feel pretty strongly that you can't vape in a hospital. Which could speak to his celebrity treatment... or this is somebody's home?
ETA: What smoke-free restrictions exist for e-cigarette use?
Use of electronic cigarettes prohibited wherever smoking is prohibited (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 22950.5(c) (2017)) including, but not limited to, places of employment (Cal. Lab. Code § 6404.5 (2017)); family day care facilities (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 1596.795 (2017)); foster and group homes (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 1530.7 (2017)); within 25 feet of playgrounds or 250 feet of a youth sports events (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 104495(b),(d) (2017)); in public buildings or “within 20 feet of a main exit, entrance, or operable window of a public building, or in a [state-owned] passenger vehicle” (Cal. Gov't Code § 7597(a)); health facilities (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 1286 (2017)); in cars with minors (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 118948 (2017)); on public transportation system (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 118925 (2017)); on passenger carriers (Cal. Pub. Util. Code §561 (a) (2017)) and on grounds of facilities under Dep’t of Youth Authority jurisdiction, with the exception of residential staff housing where inmates or wards are not present. (Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code § 1712.5(b) (2017)); in nonprofit charitable temporary food facilities. (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 114332.3 (f)(2017)) in outpatient health facilities. (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 1234 (2017)); in court facilities. (Cal R San Benito Super Ct Rule 1.5 (2017)); in Superior Court of California - County of Sacramento courthouse. (Cal R Sacramento Super CT Rule 7.11(B)(5) (2017)); within 25 feet of the “commerce area” of certified farmers’ markets. (Cal. Health & Safety Code § 114371(f) (2017)); in car with minor. (Cal Health & Safety Code § 118948 (2017))
That thought crossed my mind, wouldn't be too hard to rig up a makeshift infirmary(however functional it may or may not be)... if he's under attack, it makes a little sense to seek shelter outside of a hospital(where his presence would otherwise be publicized - damn paparazzi)... Again, thinking out loud.

Is that a... Vape pen he's holding in his left hand?
Also, does he have a catheter? What's up with those tubes/wires? I assumed IV at first, but they don't appear to be connected to him.
ETA: I see one of the wires is a cellphone charger, just under his left wrist.
ETA2: I guess those thick cables could be the bed controls? Maybe?

Pretty sure you're spot on there.
