US bans vaping on commercial airline flights
US transportation officials announced Wednesday that vaping on commercial flights is officially banned, just as is smoking the old-fashioned way. The US Department of Transportation's decision to officially ban the use of electronic cigarettes on flights going to and from the United States ends any confusion as to whether vaping in the air is lawful.

Well, I don't care to go on a flight where i'm forced to sit next to somebody with very offensive body order, but unfortunately I have no control over that and there is nothing I an do about it, especially if the flight is 100% full. What about my health.... the body odor causes me to experience nausea. Will the government step in and make airports provide showers and make it mandatory that all passengers and crew go through a public shower to eliminate all forms of body odors and perfumes? Because there are some perfumes and oils out there that are truly obnoxious!
This is proof that the anti smoking crowd is not concerned with health. They don't like how it looks...
Quite frankly I don't think people should be allowed to use smokeless tobacco products either.
Why should they get ot satisfy their addiction to nicotine while others cannot.

Because people are simple and self-absorbed.
Did you read the full article or just the snippet above? If you had read the full article, you would have seen it's not about appearances, but rather about health.
HOWEVER.. times and standards DO change; thus has this one. And it's not like going for six hours without a smoke is really any huge deal. At worst it will cause a mild headache. And to stop that from happening, simply take along a few nicotine lozenges or pieces of Nicorette-type gum. And if you're that big of a baby about it, then just suck your thumb while you nod off since sleep works really well, too.
I get kinda ticked off by fellow smokers who think it's our RIGHT to smoke where and where we want. It's not.. and I go out of my way (sometimes FAR out of my way) to not be an intrusive smoker. As well, I never toss a cigarette but onto the ground.. ever. That one really gripes me. There should be a special and heavy fine just for that. It's up to us smokers to police our own will and our own image. And it's not any more of a "dirty and disgusting habit" than a lot of things (some worse) that most people do in one way or another, yet are overlooked simply because they are more common.
As for vaping.. just ditto what I said above (except for maybe for the FAR out of the way thing since they don't stink an area up like smoke does).
But.. but.. be sure to tune in next week when we discuss the "health threat" to others when you'll learn how in OPEN-SPACE areas it's been proved many times over that a person smoking ten feet away for ten minutes is MUCH less dangerous to your eternal health than a 60-second wait for a crosswalk signal on a 4-lane street in medium traffic auto exhaust. Annoying? Yeah, maybe. Extended health threat? No. People who complain about others smoking in wide open spaces far away from them are nothing but whimpering little neener-neeers who need to go elsewhere to wag their silly little finger.
