BEFORE you go on holiday, you should check the rules on vaping to avoid breaking the law.
We explain all of the rules about vaping on planes, trains and buses, and what is banned.
Can you vape on planes?
Passengers onboard a flight are not allowed to vape on any airline in the UK.
Both EasyJet and Ryanair allow passengers to carry their vapes in their hand luggage but have a strict no smoking policy that applies to vaping.
E-cigarettes must not be checked in either.
Ryanair even reserves the right to refuse passengers on board a flight if “you have smoked, or attempted to smoke, on a previous flight”.
If you are caught vaping on a flight then you could face heavy fines or being banned from the airline.
A man was banned from flying with Spirit Airlines for life after using his e-cigarette in the bathroom, leading to an emergency landing of the plane.
It is also worth checking if they are allowed in the country you are flying to, as e-cigarettes are already banned in at least 30 countries.
Can you vape in airports?
All airports have banned vaping inside, the same as with normal cigarettes.
Some airports have designated smoking areas outside the terminals which travellers will have to use.
