By now, you probably have heard that vaping is allowed in many public places. However, you may not have heard that it is not allowed on many planes. Being on board a plane for many hours can increase the craving, especially for those who use nicotine e-juices.
Most federal laws prohibit people from using their vapes inside the plane, but they can do it in designated places in the airport. So, you should not risk having your favorite vape mod or stick being confiscated or having to be prosecuted in a foreign land.
Understand the Rules
As surprising as it is, there are different rules that govern how you travel and use your vape in flights. Some countries do not allow vaping at all and any plane heading to that country will not let you pass immigration with the device and e-juices. However, the majority will allow it during check-in if it is in a carry case and it will not be used on the plane. To avoid having your device confiscated or creating a travel hitch, get to understand the laws of the country that you are traveling to.
Rules Around Checked Luggage
Another surprising fact is that you cannot pack your device in checked luggage. Most airlines claim that it is a potential danger in the luggage compartment. Therefore, they want you to have it in your carry-on luggage where you can easily reach it if need be. According to the ePuffer website, every reputable seller should pack their e-cigarettes in a convenient pack that is easy to carry when traveling. All airlines assume that you have this and there will be no challenges in putting it in your carry-on luggage.
How to Avoid Temptations of Vaping in a Plane
Any attempt to vape on a plane can lead you to trouble. It is not worth going to jail or getting a hefty fine because of this. With a good plan, you can go for about ten hours without a craving. But here are the best tips to warrant this.
- Vape just before departure – As you wait for your flight, sit in a ”vaping allowed” corner and enjoy as many clouds as you want until you are satisfied. Do this when it is almost departure time.
- Prepare yourself psychologically – The desire to vape is controlled by the brain. Therefore, it is important to prepare yourself for this in your mind. Fortunately, this is magical and it will work.
- Carry entertainment gadgets – You can take advantage of your smartphone, the tablets provided by the airline, or an iPod to stay entertained. This will divert your mind from the cravings of an e-cigarette until you arrive at your destination.
- Sleep – Do you know that you can have a deep and sound sleep while on a plane? Business and VIP class are the best because they have comfortable seats that can be reclined. Sleeping will make the journey seem shorter and the craving for a vape may even not cross your mind.
