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.

I'm ok with this. Even if everyone came to the agreement that vaping is 100% safe to your fellow passengers, I don't want something that looks like smoke, fog, etc., in the cabin while I'm flying.
Just heard of a case on the news of an E-cig spontaneously combusting in someones pocket severely burning his leg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSH-lZiGsK4 I hope the ban includes even transporting these on planes, imagine one going off in overhead luggage?
Pretty soon, because of the recent outbreaks of batteries combusting such as the vape battery and the hover boards, no electronics will be allowed on the airlines.
So should we ban air conditioning too? Wouldn't want to frighten you.
Looking at all your snarky posts, I'm guessing your pro-vaping. So I'll ask you...WHY? Because you take pride in looking the fool? That's the only reason I can think of as that's what anyone indulging in this latest craze of "being cool" is. Jesus, it's like people can't go for 5 minutes without sticking something in their mouth. Try a pacifier. It works on most whiners.
You compare the heating/cooling of normal air with breathing of chemical fumes, are you f#@%ing crazy?
