Flight passenger slams 'sneaky' travelers who vape in airports: 'You aren't fooling anyone'

"Hearing the announcement and then hitting your vape again is mind-boggling, and shows zero situational awareness," one Reddit user wrote in a post. The person added, "You aren't fooling [anyone] and you're a joke that deserves consequences."

Last year, a flyer shared a video that caught a vaping rule-breaker in the act before boarding a plane.

One of the passengers is seen using a vape with clouds of smoke surrounding him.

Reddit users shared comments about the moment.

"Gotta hold it in so the smoke don't come out," commented one Reddit user.

"That's boooooold," commented another.

"As a crew member, if I saw him doing that before stepping on I'd have a good chuckle and just confirm that he's aware [he should] not touch it once on the aircraft," said one user.

Another added, "Vape pens have made people think that they're above the law."

"You know he's hitting it in the lavatory," said yet another user.

Someone else chimed in, "Just be a frequent user of the bathroom vape."

The Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada also has designated smoking areas in the airport. 

Smoking is permitted in Barney's Lounge, the Bud 29 Track Lounge and some enclosed gaming lounges.

Other users on Reddit discussed vaping aboard planes. 

"I've vaped in plane toilets before," admitted one person.

One person said, "That guy is [gonna] vape on the plane. Bet my house on it."

Recently, a pilot called out a vaping passenger while in the air in a cabin-wide announcement, according to a Reddit user's post.

"At the end of the flight, the pilot goes: There are 189 of you on this flight. While we make our final descent, please know we are going to be safe and sound, but that could have changed because one person decided to risk the lives of the other 188," the user claimed.

"Other passengers might think vapers are smoking a cigarette even though they aren't," said Leff.

He added, "You can't smoke on a plane. You can't vape, either. The FAA has interpreted the prohibition on cigarette smoking to include vaping products, even though they're quite different."
