E-Cigs Banned on SouthWest flights

[Jim Davis]

Took a flight on SouthWest Airlines (WN) today. In the back of the in flight magazine under prohibited items during flight, the electronic cigarette has now been added. I know there's another thread here, but now, it's in print in their magazine.

Not banned from the plane, you just can't use it.

Does vapor set off the alarms in the lavs?

One has to wonder if this becomes the rule for all airlines, if the eleventh commandment is in order.

there is a funny post somewhere here..........I think from cashmere about the smoke detector in the lav., but the gist of it is the smoke detector's absolutely will go off

YIKES! Okay - with things the way they are, that is definitely NOT something that I want to test!

Thank you snus and thank you Stonewalls! I wondered if dripping the e-liquid on your tongue is banned?

Just exhale downwards into the sink, you won't set off the detector....

Hmmm, that gives me a somewhat disturbing visual....

But in my younger days I used to smoke 'things' in airplane bathrooms which I shouldn't have and by being careful where I exhaled I never off the alarm. heeheee

or under a balnket. I vaped during a 2 hour plane flight, under a blanket. No harm,no foul. After 9-11, i keep it simple at airports and in flight...Don't ask and Don't Tell

Total bummer to hear that! I used mine in the bathroom and it did not set off the alarm. I wasn't vaping heavy or anything but wanted to at least try it. It was all good!

I figured the airlines would ban it. People will complain that they don't know what the vapor is or if it is 'safe'.... I can see it already....

Gosh... I wish we could just get a break! We quit smoking analogs...geez!
