New Airline Rule: If You‘d Like To Vape, Please Step Outside

US Bans Vaping on Commercial Flights

It's not clear what it is about vaping that's so irritating to many of us. Maybe it'll just take some time to get used to them, as was the case with cell phones 25 years ago. So its' a good, thing in our view, that the Transportation Department has banned e-cigarettes, even if it's for a better reason than ours. The e-Cig ban, the feds say, is because the devices have a nasty tendency not only to spread noxious vaper, but to go up in flames, too. One video last week went viral showing an e-Cig device going up in flames inside a person's shirt pocket. While some airlines have already banned the devices, the nationwide prohibition against them made the point moot.
