Travel and Vaping Interesting thread on flyer talk

[THE]

Electronic Cigarette - FlyerTalk Forums
One ..... said he didn't want to inhale someone elses vapor
Someone else pointed out to him that the same thing happens with or without vapor
What an idiot
The thread, it's priceless

Got to love this pile of
Does Your Favorite Airline Allow E-cigarettes? - no-smoke.org
ACTION STEPS:

Contact the airline(s) you frequently fly to either thank them for having a "no e-cigarettes" policy or encourage them to adopt one.

We believe that the use of e-cigarettes on planes is not acceptable, as it undermines the social norm about smoking on planes and encourages people to light up the real thing - a fire, health, and safety danger.


WE ARE NON SMOKERS, YOU IDIOTS!!

*sigh* What part of SMOKING do people not understand? If there is no flame or smoke produced, then someone is not smoking, period. I swear people just want something to complain about.

Agreed!!

I explain to idiots, there's no combustion, it's water vapor, etc etc etc
I remember a couple of years ago I was talking to this lady at a convenience store about vaping. I'll never forget my jaw hitting the floor when she said "But what if they're not safe?"

And she was DEAD SERIOUS.

Combustible tobacco cigarettes have many times the acceptable amount of many carcinogens and other harmful chemicals. They destroy your body in every way. But is vaping safe?? Hmmmm

Better keep smoking!!

 

[imtheshane]

Yeah, much better to keep using a product that is known beyond the shadow of a doubt to cause cancer, rather than take a chance on something that produces 4,000 less chemicals because it might not be "safe".

How have these people not choked to death on their own tongues yet? Something that stupid couldn't have been intended to survive, could it?

Down the page a bit, post 15, at the time I read, kylaeris, gave a really interesting recount of their experience with someone using an ecig in flight. They talk about how they were initially mad because someone had found a way to smoke in a situation it was prohibited, but then the poster describes how they went online and researched ecigs and will be recommending them to smoking friends. I'm impressed that a non-smoker took the time to research and changed their stance on ecigs, citing that PG is used in flight to in the ventilation system to reduce pathogens in the air.

I am a member of FlyerTalk, so I put my 2 cents in on that thread.

Yep, a longtime member here also, never visit the US air forum. Thanks for posting it.

 

[Tober138]

Surprised I missed it initially. I live in Charlotte, so US Scare is about all I fly (at least domestically)

 

[PTJD]

Yeah went on and posted a pic, I really did not want this to get out on the travel forum's too many yahoo's that will push the limits of vaping and ruin it for the rest of us. I guess it was about time for it to be addressed.

I just positioned on US Airways for work. It was super hot and humid.. started to rain.

Captain Kicked up the a/c, and of course due to the humidity, huge clouds of condensation entered the cabin through the air vents... resembling one hell of a vape.

I couldnt help but wonder where I could place a gallon of eliquid, and take advantage of all those clouds bellowing into the cabin.
