Why? The vapour exhaled contains no tobacco so there is no second-hand effect.

It's not even that. It's there habit that they choose to do. Some kids think smoking is cool, my godaughter is 15 months her mum smokes. her daughter put pens and alsorts in her mouth mimicking a ciagrette. they pick stuff up.I wouldn't allow a bunch of idiots to drink Booze in front of my kids either. I'm far from snobby but people should set examples xx

I'm pretty sure they're not allowed on Jet 2 flights

From a cabin crew website

The FAA (Federal Aviation Authority) hasn’t yet listed the electronic cigarette as a banned item for use during a flight - however it has clearly stated that the final say-so must come from each individual airline and cabin policy.

Taking this into account there are currently three airlines which have banned the use of electronic cigarettes on their flights. Since 2009 Virgin Atlantic, TUI and Thomson have stated that these devices cannot be used in-flight.

Can i please suggest that before you post incorrect and untrue comments on a forum you first educate yourself to the facts first.

i am a vaper. My favourite juice is vanilla custard. i used to smoke 30 cigarettes a day. A few days after stopping smoking and turning to vaping, ironically, i ended up in hospital with lung problems. At first i was worried that the vaping had caused it, but no, it turned out i had COPD caused by the smoking. When the heart and lung specialist came to see me on the ward i asked him about my vaping. Not only did he encourage me to do it, he also said i could do it on the ward alongside other patients!!! After 3mths vaping and not having a single cigarette since, my lungs have felt the healthiest i have known since my teens.
For those that don't know, the toxins and poisons in cigarettes come from the nearly 4,000 by products put into cigarettes NOT the nicotine itself.
Have any of you been to nightclubs, theatres and other forms of entertainment where fake smoke vapour is used? No one seems to object to this stuff yet vaping uses virtually the same stuff. When a vaper exhales, it is water vapour coming out and the lovely food smells are produced by food flavourings that can be bought in every supermarket in the country!!
