No wonder he needs a nicotine hit! A stressed Ben Affleck puffs on an E-cigarette as he gets a parking ticket in Beverly Hills
Ben Affleck was obviously having a tough day.
The Batman V Superman star was spotted sucking on an E-Cigarette as he sat in his car and later puffing on a regular cigarette as he walked around Beverly Hills in the sunshine on Thursday.
The nicotine hit may have helped the 43-year-old calm down after getting a parking ticket.

Life's a drag: Ben Affleck was spotted sitting in his car sucking on an E-Cigarette in Beverly Hills on Thursday
Ben was casually dressed for his outing in a black leather jacket teamed with a dark red T-shirt, baggy black jeans and gray sneakers.
His dark hair was left to do its own thing and he sported a graying beard and moustache.
During his walk, the actor bumped into Saturday Night Live alum Molly Shannon who stopped her car to have a chat.
Ben, who separated from his wife, Jennifer Garner, last summer, was at CinemaCon in Las Vegas last week.

There it was announced that the Oscar winner will star in a standalone Batman movie following his critically-praised performance in the superhero showdown Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice.
The blockbuster has already more than tripled its $250 million budget at the box office after its release on March 25.
It also introduced the Justice League members Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash and Cyborg, each of whom is getting their own standalone film.
