Cotton Posted February 5, 2010 #8 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Nunu, I don't think they would allow them. They look toooo real. Anyone trying that would probably be asked to leave that area or douse the cig. I imagine the 'smoker' would get tired of having to repeatedly explain that it's smokeless.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemurCat Posted February 5, 2010 #9 Share Posted February 5, 2010 gives them a hit of nicotine I think but doesn't actually burn. even the end lights up, or so I've read. They're not smokeless, persay. An e-cig or personal vaporizer works by heating a solution of glycerin, flavoring and nicotine (if the user chooses nicotine -- I don't), which produced a cloud of water vapor that is then inhaled and exhaled. It looks like smoke, but it's often odorless. If it does have a smell, it's usually used to the flavoring used -- I vape a cherry-flavored solution, so it sometimes smells like a black cherry candle is burning. I haven't tried to use one on a cruise, but since most of my PVs (personal vaporizers) don't actually look like cigarettes (black with a blue LED light, white with a phoenix design and a purple LED light), I don't worry too much. Plus, if I exhale into a napkin, there's usually no evidence of use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most models don't look anything like a cigarette -- in fact, most look like you're sucking on a flashlight with a colored bulb. And most PV users don't get tired of explaining at all. In fact, most of them enjoy telling the obnoxious, smarmy, over-bearing anti-smoking police to go shove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. They're for people who are looking for a healthier smoke. Some use it to quit. Most use it as a nicotine delivery device that doesn't bring all teh nasty chemicals and tar with it.

TheDINGOateMyBaybay! Posted February 5, 2010 #15 Share Posted February 5, 2010 bahahahaha!

TheDINGOateMyBaybay! Posted February 5, 2010 #16 Share Posted February 5, 2010 We do not allow them on the plane as they contain a lithium battery, which are prohibited at my airline. I am a smoker, so don't flame, I am just relaying facts. I smoked one on a plane with no problem, except from nosey busy bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LemurCat Posted February 5, 2010 #19 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Why so snotty? Because you're making statements with no information. And then you contradict yourself.

What information am I lacking? :confused: That many (not most, not the majority, but more than a few) e-cigarette users are not nicotine users. The two are not mutually inclusive.

TortieGal Posted February 5, 2010 #24 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I do know of 2 people who used them in the casino on the Dream. As far as I know, no issues were raised over them. This was in early December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LemurCat Posted February 5, 2010 #25 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Let's not split hairs here. I'm not splitting hairs. Part of the problem with personal vaporizers is that people don't understand them and make sweeping statements about them. If people knew more about them, non-users would be more comfortable with them, and wouldn't make mis-informed statements about them. Also, as I don't use nicotine and the water vapor my PV produces is harmless, why should I be barred from using it, and how would your suggestion that I "use the patch" be the least bit helpful?
