I heard this story on the news and wanted to show it around. It looks like the FAA may end up taking a stand on vaping in the near future.

Man jailed for tossing peanuts, pretzels on flight - KansasCity.com
Pogos Paul Sefilian Jailed For Throwing Peanuts, Pretzels On Southwest Airlines Flight

Both stories read verbatim, so there doesn't seem to be alot of information available yet. But this is NOT the way to get permission to use an electronic nicotine delivery system in a restricted area...

Yeah, not the way to help with e-cig acceptance. And no matter what the issue, messing with a flight crew is just stupid. Hello, federal offense!

Funny but sad.

Can you say "nic fit?" Standing up for ecigs is one thing but if they are already banned, then abide by the rules. He could have easily gone into the restroom and vaped if he needed some nic.

Mr. Sefilian sounds like a complete dope to be honest . The flight attendant tells you no then you just saunter over to the bathroom. No reason to throw things at someone if you do get your way. My 2 year old might disagree with that last statement though lol.

People who act like jackwagons because they can't vape where they please only hurt the rest of us who respect the rules.

Sounds like a read ID10t to me. Probably just mad because he was told what he could/could not do.

This guy better not be a reason to ban wider. But I fear the FDA will use it against us.

"... a flight attendant repeatedly told him it was against airline policy and to put away the device."

Hey, I'm a vaping proponent, but this is

Waiting for the supporters of "vape anywhere/everywhere" to chime in. Popcorn at the ready....

^^^^^^Well then be prepared to dodge some airborne snacks apparently lol.

Southwest still serves peanuts? Damn, I miss the peanuts. After American stopped serving them on the planes, you could still get them at the Admiral's Club. I'd grab a handful - ah... good times. Then, the peanuts disappeared - guess there were too many peanut allergies in the Admiral's Club...

Funny how we all didn't have peanut allergies on airplanes in the 70's, 80's, and 90's.
