Travel and Vaping Smoking rooms at airport

[JollyRogers]

Traveling to San Diego and currently @ Atlanta in a smoking room using my PV. This absolutely degrading and discusting! The smoke is smothering me!!! I should not have to be subjected to all of this. I was usin my Tornado discretely and got challenged, so I am now here. and it sucks. I guess I can go hide somewhere else... On a good note, no problems with TSA and stealth on the 1st flight was no problem. Oh how it sucks to be addicted
to nicotine

Yeah it can get bad.
Here is a list of airports.

Smoking rooms are disgusting. I went into one in Kuala Lumper earlier this year and I feel you could get a sufficient nic hit from stepping one foot inside the room and taking a breath. It's reasurring to see a list of airports that allow vaping.

I personally know the smoking rooms at Atlanta International. Horrible!
I haven't flown since I started vaping. Really sorry to hear this.
You just about have to go through Atlanta to get to anywhere from any point in the southeast.

I'm very familiar with the terrariums at Atlanta airport, they're somewhat horrifying. To prevent issues, I will walk over there and vape across the hall leaning against the wall...

Although, at least ATL has the terrariums, Ft Lauderdale forces you to go through security to get outside, and then once again to get back in (for analogs, at least).

Well I managed to find the fresh air inlet for the terminal A smoking room up on the 3rd floor. That made it better. To be honest, I left there and stealth vaped again by my gate and on the plane. Never got challenged again. It was funny in a way, the agent saw me use it and came up to me asking about it (probably cause he knew what it was). I had been holding my breath for about 10 secs and had to exhale to answer... Just the slightest vapor came out of my nose and he immediately told me I couldn't use an e-cig here and had to go to the smoking room. I was cordial and told him and that I would comply. I did, until I couldn't take it anymore! That smoking room, just wow!

Bathrooms have been used by me also (JFK), but sometimes they can be worse! Plus I feel ridiculous standing in a stall vaping. On the plane, little different, there's no one next to me!!!

Hey, at least they *have* them.

Nothing I loved more that having to get at the airport a couple of hours early, then usually breezing through security, only to then have to sit around for a couple of hours nervous (I'm a fearful flyer) and unable to smoke!

Over here in Blighty, we have no smoking rooms either; how much hassle can it be to have a balcony, really?

I go through Atlanta to get to N. C. two or three times a year. The reason I got my first e-cig was so I wouldn’t smell like smoke. The AirTran gal told me I HAD TO GO TO THE SMOKING AREA.
Yeah, right, I thought to myself while thinking of a few choice words, that’ll happen since it isn’t even necessary to light up if you go in there because the smoke is so thick. At first I stood by the doors. Then I spent a lot of time in the restroom. Then I found a spot as far away from AirTran people, with my back to them, and I stealth vaped. I’ve been noticed but no one else has ever said anything to me.
So, if you haven’t figured it out, AirTran IS NOT VAPE FRIENDLY. If you don’t think you can make the trip without, avoid them like the plague.
Raleigh Airport Security isn’t vape friendly either.

I also openly in Milwaukee and Philadelphia airports 2 weekends ago. Actually I had several people asking about it. They also commented on the fact that they couldn't smell anything; the visible vapor is what got their attention
