Forget about smoking electronic cigarettes on flights

The U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx has announced a rule that bans the use of electronic cigarettes on commercial flights.

Good! It might not be smoke but I don't want to persons vapour blowing in my face, I don't care if its flavoured either.

Not sure why this is being even debated? Same rules apply for vaping as it applies for smoking.

 

[Kornhub]

I thought it was banned ages ago :/

 

[Necropolis]

I vape and would never consider vaping on a plane...

Why, there is no passive smoking danger, it's just vapour.

you vape?

 

[daveza]

you vape?

I do.

But I don't fly so this doesn't affect me.

 

[Kornhub]

We can still carry them on with us right (in SA) ? Or what is the rule here.

Let's face it this is about sticking it to nicotine users, not any actual secondhand vapour danger.

So they're going to ban laptops and phones too then? In fact I can very easily deliberately start a fire on an aircraft with my laptop.

So would you mind if the person sitting next to you drenched themselves in vicks every 10 seconds?

 

[konfab]

Enough with these m***erf***ing vapes on this m***erf***ing plane.

They probably wouldn't be allowed that much vicks on a plane

aaaand on to the NSA list of potential terrorists you go, enjoy

 

[porchrat]

As far as I understand it the vapour being produced is not harmful. Why ban it?

It can still be annoying to see and smell gasses coming from another person, weather it's vapor from their mouths or methane from another orifice it is just rude to subject others to it against their will ...

I never actually cared about the harmful effects of real smoke as much as the sight and smell of it, got my revenge from time to time lighting up a fat cigar in the local pub, suddenly all the chain smokers complain

Come now man, im just saying that there is a safety issue with these things and provided one of many videos that are out there.You can also start a fire with reading glasses in a plane at the right angle so there goes your theory.
