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.
“This final rule is important because it protects airline passengers from unwanted exposure to aerosol fumes that occur when electronic cigarettes are used onboard airplanes,” Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said.
