Several airlines already ban their use. As long as they are not actively confiscating them at the security checkpoints I don't see an issue with it. They don't have cameras in the bathrooms. However should they start physically removing them from passengers, that's when I stop flying. Period.
what bothers me most about this is they are trying to make it so that you cannot even CARRY it on the plane. This pisses me off as people carry cigarettes on the plane! They cannot possibly ban carrying them, but I can understand banning the USE of them on a plane
as long as i can still get em though security im fine....as a smoker i was used to hours with out a smoke, it is stupid but alot of laws and regulations are.
Where did you see a reference that they cannot be carried on a plane? The lithium batteries are actually required to be transported as carry-on, rather than checked luggage, and the liquids fall under the general TSA guidance for carry-on liquids. I'm not disagreeing, just do not see where you got the information. (a ban on using them is not the same as a ban on transporting them)
"We still don't know the health effects of e-cigarettes, and we don't want to turn airline passengers into laboratory mice," Lautenberg said in an e-mailed statement."
All I can say is wow.
All I can say is wow.
Yeah. And it is a bogus ... statement anyway. Because we do know the health effects of the stuff in the e-juice. Its not like any of those chemicals/substances are new or unknowns. Hell, the FDA can tell you right now the toxicity levels and effects of each of them.
I don't see where you're getting this from either.
Last time I flew (months ago) they didn't just say they prohibited ecigs, they said any use of smokeless tobacco. I guess using a snu on board is some big health threat, but people bombed out of their minds on bloody marys and whiskey is ok.
He doesn't hate nic users; he "hates" nic users that don't follow current options. Lautenburg get a LOT of campaign money from drug companies that make nicotine therapy products....that's the motivation. Check his campaign financial reports for the list.
I think when they say no smokeless tobacco...they are saying no dipping, because lets be honest snus and nasal snuff are not well known to most Americans...at least around here. I would carry a can of nasal snuff. Or you could vape in the bathroom I guess...
I can see the reasoning, if to many people vaped 100 vg it would cloud up the cabin and there is no reason a non vaper should have to sit in a metal tube with vapers...we don't know any studies on second hand vaping effects...we can deduce its safer than second hand smoke but I know of no bunny/rat/human test that has ran for years where they have tested all the ingredients combined for side effects. There is no reason non vapers should have to sit through that if they don't want to.

I agree. If someone was spitting into a cup next to me on the plane, I would be ...... and grossed out. I would never ask to or expect to just sit in my seat and vape. Even if it were allowed, for courtesy's sake, I would still adjourn to the restroom for a vaping session.

Yup, assuming you were in the bathroom. Even if you screw up and somehow set off the smoke detector, there really isn't any way they could prove it.
Take controlled drags and exhales and blow it down the sink drain and there isn't any even momentary accumulation of visible vapor in the air at all. Even if one made the erroneous assumption that second-hand vapor is somehow harmful, it isn't even discourteous to others to vape in the lav in this manner (other than hogging the lav for a few minutes).
