Taking e-cigs to Taiwan - any problems?

[exogenesis]

Just about to lend / sell an e-cig to a colleague who's off to Taiwan,
I was thinking if they ask, & are allowed to vape on the long flight,
it would be great for them.

But I understand Taiwan is none to happy about e-cigs generally,
or was that only Hong Kong?

Anyway, I don't want to land them in trouble....

Any thoughts about foreign visitors using e-cigs in Taiwan ?

Other countries not too keen on e-cigs:
Canada, Australia - others ?

sorry to bump, but I need to know if I'm going to
get my colleague in hot water (flying tomorrow).

Any knowledge out there ?

Hong Kong is probably the country you've been hearing about in the news recently.

As for Taiwan, I have no idea.

Thanks for the reply,
maybe I'm just being a bit paranoid about it,

but I hope there's no probs.

Ex as of my last visit in October to Taipei, no problems.
And I do vape on planes discreetly.

Oh forgot to add, was in Hong Kong in early March right before the ban and had no problem, might be a little different now.

Ok great, thanks for the info.

Only one slight problem, just found they're going to Korea not Taiwan

LOL, no probs in Korea as of early March.
Also FYI, Incheon airport depending on the terminal has 2 - 4 dedicated smoking rooms airside.

Airports that still have smokerooms, that's quite surprising.

Guess they'll be OK by the sound of it, thanks.

You must get around quite a bit, does 'discreetly' mean you nip off to the
smallest room (assuming that true in an airplane), or do you turn away
in your seat & have a quick drag while no-ones looking?

Most Asian airports still have smoking rooms. Shoot here in OKC we still have one.
Discreetly means I always have a window seat and if the person next to me does not seem friendly I just vape between the seat and window and blow down or hold it in for a while. Now if there is no one next to you its much easier.
Last Year to Germany, both going and coming back I had great passengers next to me and after explaining they had no problems with me vaping.

also I swear by using a manual switch so I can control vapor production.
