Can e-cigarettes be brought on the plane? The answer is: yes. (Warm reminder: Smoking is harmful to health)

How to carry the most standard? Here comes the professional interpretation from the safety officer of the Aviation Security Department of Hainan Airlines.

You can't smoke when flying, as everyone knows. Can e-cigarettes be smoked on or during taxiing? Also not possible! ! !

First, the cabin is an airtight environment. Smoking on the plane may contaminate the cabin environment with its hazardous substances.

Secondly, the battery of the electronic cigarette will cause heat when smoking, which is prone to fire or explosion, which brings some threats to civil aviation.

Moreover, the smoke detection system on the aircraft is very sensitive. Although it is not a paper cigarette, the smoke it produces is very likely to trigger the alarm of the smoke detection system on the aircraft, causing great inconvenience to the operation of the aircraft.

  Recently, on a flight of an airline to Shenzhen, a passenger was smoking an electronic cigarette when he was about to slide out after boarding with the cabin door closed and the covered bridge evacuated.

Afterwards, the airport public security arrived immediately. About 10 minutes later, the plane re-connected to the bridge and opened the cabin door. The police took the passenger away in accordance with the law after learning about the situation and collecting evidence from the flight crew. The flight was also delayed for 77 minutes because of this incident.

Upon questioning, the passenger confessed to smoking e-cigarettes on the plane. According to relevant regulations, the Airport Public Security Bureau imposed a penalty of five days of administrative detention. Those who do not listen to dissuasion from using open flames, smoking, and illegally using electronic equipment in the aircraft will be included in the "blacklist" of civil aviation.
