Mirage Cigarettes

[Bob906]

These cigarettes are legal in pubs and hotels, but does anyone know are they allowed on airplanes.

[ChuckFickens]

check with the airline, they are not part of an overall ban but as such each airline can make it's own rules about what is, and isn't, acceptable on it's planes.

[Bob906]

Are you saying "Chuck" that the smoking ban does not include planes it is up to the airline whether they allow it.

[ChuckFickens]

The smoking ban does include airplanes, but those electronic ciggies are not covered by the smoking ban so they are not banned by the overall smoking ban, hence it comes down to the choice of the airline.

[Mr Veritas]

Although "Mirage Cigarettes" website "tries" to persuade possible customers that they are allowed in Clubs,Pubs etc this would not seem to be the case.
Why?
Because these Mirage ciggies actually emit a smoke,and other smokers who are banned from smoking nicotine ciggies would (rightly) object.
For this reason I feel that they would not be allowed on planes,as they could cause the same conflict,as in~
"But why can't I smoke,they (the Mirage ciggie smoker) is smoking,I want to light up too.
This is from the "Mirage Cigarettes" website:~


When you place your mirage electronic cigarette in your mouth and gently inhale, the micro processor instantly activates the ultra flow atomiser which vaporises liquid nicotine and concentrated flavouring with a liquid carrier component, all of which are not considered cancer causing substances.

After inhaling this vapour it is exhaled from your mouth or nose and simulates smoke. You can actually make smoke rings if you wish to. After around 15 puffs the microprocessor disables the ultra flow atomiser for several seconds so over use is not permitted.

[Bob906]

As it says "Mr Veritas" it is a Vapour not a Smoke that is emmited from the ciggie so you are contradicting yourself.
Thanks anyway i have actually sent an e.mail to the website i just wait to see what they say.

My other half has one of those electronic inhalers - it smells exactly the same as a normal ciggie - I would not want you sitting behind or next to me on a flight, chemicals or not, with one of these things

Can you not just abstain for the duration? Every smoker has to so why shouldn't you do so as well?

[Eve]

Why not try patches or an inhalator?

[Mr Veritas]

Bob,
I am not saying that it IS a smoke,it may be a vapour,but the appearance of that may lead to what I said in my first answer.
Also as pink~kittens says,they smell just like a normal ciggie,so why would they be allowed?

jenna

patches are hopeless, i just cant keep them alight.

cecorettes a major manufacturer of ecigarettes,market cecorettes as an alternative to normal smoking and have been used on airplanes all over the world.The caa have not outlawed the use of cecorettes or ecigarettes but have left the decision to the individual carrier.Some airlines are now ordering custom printed cecorettes for sale on flights to relieve the no smoking effect on passengers who may be prone to airage when restricted to non smoking on long haul flights.Cecorettes have no naked flame ,and are not ignited,they work by water based vapour and give great relief to smokers in a similar but more effective way than nicorette patches and gum.for more information contact cecorettes.com

[tonyvande]

Anyone who contemplates an alternative to regular cigarettes shoud really try out cecorettes,they come with high,medium,low or NO nicotine.Also available in menthol and other flavours like vanilla.Also cecorettes have NO smell unlike cheap imitations .If you want the best available try cecorettes at cecorettes.com

[Mr Veritas]

It strikes me that tonyvande's two answers are nothing more than a hidden advert!

[pink-kittens]

and a pretty blatant one too Mr Veritas
