What Airports Prohibit E Cigarettes?

Many people are wondering about electronic cigarettes in airports. Most airports are now smoke free facilities, and do not permit smoking anywhere. Some have designated areas outside the buildings at certain terminals, but these are before you reach security. A TSA blog written by a TSA employee was happy to inform electronic cigarette smokers that they are permitted to carry on their e cigs as well as their accessories. However, he suggests asking permission at the airport as well as on the airplanes if vaping is allowed. Another suggestion is to bring your electronic cigarette paperwork along to show attendants and security officials if they have any questions. Many people are still unaware of what electronic cigarettes
even are. Green smoke provides a card stating that the product is not a cigarette, but an electronic cigarette. Recently, an electronic cigarette user questioned Southwest Airlines about carrying his e cig onto their plane. The representative searched through their restricted items, and found electronic cigarettes are not included on the list. They claimed that they were considered a portable electronic, and they did not see any reason why they should not be approved to carry on. Another user asked a flight attendant if she could smoke her electronic cigarette on the plane. The attendants did not even know what an e cig was. The flight attendant asked the cabin crew, and none of them knew if they were permitted. They did state they would ask at their next monthly meeting, and told the passenger to go into the bathroom because, “what you do in the bathroom is your business”. The passenger proceeded to vape in the bathroom, and the crew actually came in to witness the fact that there is not an odor and minimal vapor. Another user recently contacted 3 airlines, the TSA, and obtained an FAA regulations handbook. The airlines all said the e cig was permitted in carry on bags, but could not state whether they were permitted to be used on planes. The TSA stated that electronic cigarettes are permitted in carry on bags. The FAA handbook did not state anything about electronic cigarette use as being prohibited. Our suggestion, to be on the safe side, is to contact the airport and airline to ensure that you are allowed to carry on your electronic cigarettes.
