URGENT: US Senate May Consider Ban of E-cigs in Carry On Bags
April 8, 2016/in SFATA Blog /by robertsfata

Next week the Senate is scheduled to debate the FAA reauthorization on the Senate Floor. Senator Blumenthal (D-CT) has proposed an amendment (SA 3547) that will expand the list of hazardous products to vapor devices and prohibit them from being carried on ALL flights.

Vapor products are already prohibited from being used on flights and from being included in checked baggage this additional prohibition will force consumers to leave their products at home when traveling once again making it more difficult for the millions of people who have chosen these products over combustible tobacco products.

This is terrible news. The thing about aviation is that they love to standardise this sort of stuff. This could be rolled out worldwide, via guidlines set out by IATA etc.

Noooooo! Wankers

Can see it being banned on all airlines so they then can push duty free fags at you, bastards

That's pish, complete pish.
I hope to god common sense prevails and they just leave it as restricted as it is.

Not allowed to vape on planes - fair enough.
The mods and batteries are no different to any other f'n electronic device.

Is shit......worst case a charger some 18650s (they can't separate them out from any other batteries) mech tubes, dripper and atty all packed separately equals no "e-cig"

 

[johnr7]

Yep, battery free mod & tank in hold = no issue or legislation.
18650's in carry on = what is the issue officer? (clean & best way to travel comment after edit)

I doubt it will make sweet fa difference but I've just emailed the Senator responsible. [email protected] It can't do any harm if he receives opinions from across the globe!!

Guns and ammunition and mace and pepper sprays are allowed on most US airlines.
But not e-cigs?
Best not go to the US then, 'tis a silly place.

I`m just waiting for the idiots at the Euro Parliament to see this. Just up their street !!!!
