Which airports allow use of a vape
 

OK, so if you're offended by the very existence of these, this isn't the thread for you.

I thought I'd start this thread for those who use a vape or any other kind of e-cigarette so that we can keep track of where these can (legally) be used indoors.

Please feel free to add / update with any info you have.

London Heathrow - permitted anywhere within terminal buildings except beyond gate areas (source: HAL) Am assuming that most / all airline lounges don't allow them to be used.

London Gatwick - permitted only in outdoor smoking areas - treated the same as regular cigarettes. (Source: GAL)

If you do a Google search, you can easily find lists of airports where these are and are not allowed.

As ever, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.

You'll also find that by doing a Google search on the subject, the information is mainly out-of-date, unreliable and US-centric.

For what its worth, I will go out and just say that it seems e-vapes are used anywhere and everywhere in airports providing you are not being disrespectful to people. They are discrete enough that it appears as though you are being mindful, you will have no problems. But then again, they don't sit and puff huge pillows of smoke in the middle of the terminal either.

I see people in lounges and etc charging their pens all the time. I have yet to see anyone get in trouble. But, I've never seen anyone go "Crazy puffing" on a pen - like I sometimes do in public. They seem to be more travel friendly pens, vs. the monster pens some people carry around.

In my experience, it depends on what kind of e-cig you're using. If you're using the discrete little white ones that are the same size are regular cigarettes and put out very little external vapor, no one will notice you. If, on the other hand, you're using a giant, multi-colored mini-hookah, most airports will require that you use the smoking room.

OP - perhaps you should search based on the individual airports you will be using? Alternatively, you could start a wiki on this topic?

Also, this link (thanks, google @:-)) provides some wider scope on travel with e-cigs.

Someone needs to alert Chelsea Peretti, stat! Also, what's the highest form of wit? I'm thinking brevity or litotes, but I haven't seen the most recent rankings.

Entertainingly enough... clicking on that link, now lists this thread as the #1 search result.

As this thread and the information within it is all from 2014, we will go ahead and close this thread. For more recent information and discussion, please refer to the Smoking Lounge forum. Thanks! :)
