Here's an article about some loser who when told to stop vaping on a plane decided to take out his frustrations on the flight staff.

Anyone else getting tired of the ban on mothering VAPES on the mothering PLANE?!?

Since I know at least one person who vapes vg due to her son being highly pg sensitive, I have to admit that I appreciate being told not to vape on a plane. This doesn't mean I wouldn't like to stealth vape, but if asked not to I would comply.

Unfortunately, this is the type of story that leaves the wrong impression with the anti-smoking crowd. Read some of the comments that were left on USAtoday about this article.

I really hate that this person acted out the way they did. It does us no good at all. Especially since some airlines- Delta and southwest- specifically prohibit vaping on the plane.

What a dumb . I travel overseas quite a bit and when I was smoking analogs, it was a little rough..but I was chain smoking when I was able to. I'm really interested in seeing the policies on ecigs the next time I fly overseas. If it's ok, I will stealth anyway (as an analog smoker I was very conscious on not offending non smokers) as I don't want to bother others.

But still..this person was completely out of line. And it gives us all a bad rap....

Rather than risk more bans on more airlines, can't we all just be cool and stealth vape on flights, please??? I stealth vaped on American last week the entire flight and no one ever noticed. Flying these days is such a PITA already, I don't ever want them to tell me I can't take my ecig on the plane. I take it apart and put it in the bottom of my purse with a few ink pens and nobody says a word going through security. Then I can make it through my flight without going nuts.

Absolutely! I also dismantle 2-3 e-cigs and can re-assemble at will. In socks, computer bag, by pens etc etc.

Chances are, this person was not a member at ecf

Well i don't normally care about hiding my vaping but I do agree that this is one case where stealth vaping is wise

I like to vape on airplanes and I'm proud of it.

here is the proof.

All kidding aside, I would not recommend vaping on a commercial flight in the US. Take a nap, read a book, or chew some gum. Its not worth the hassles if you get caught. If you really need to fly and vape either consider a private charter, or learn how to fly.
