All of this concern about polluting interior air, yet people are allowed to douse themselves in chemicals (perfume) and no one says a word while many of us suffer for it because we have no choice but to breathe.
I don’t quite understand why e cigs are banned from checked bags but acceptable in carryon bags. a fire is a fire, and could lead to catastrophic consequences in the confines of an airplane at 35,000 feet.
The danger is lithium batteries – not e-cigs. e-cigs use lithium batteries.
There have been incidents of fire from cell phones (iphones too), tablets, laptops and other devices that use lithium batteries.
Loose lithium batteries are banned from checked luggage but allowed as carry on. Basically, e-cigs have been banned the same as loose lithium batteries. Probably due to unknown construction quality versus cell phones, etc.
I hope this help you understand.
It is illogical to single out e-cigs in general instead of banning e-cig batteries because they are lithium batteries. No batteries = no risk.
Use of e-cigs creates vapor – which is a different matter.
