E-Cigarettes Permitted on Ryanair Flights

U.K. discount air carrier Ryanair is now allowing passengers to use e-cigarettes during flights, the Mirror reported July 27.

International air regulations prohibit smoking cigarettes in aircraft cabins, but Ryanair not only is allowing travelers to use the smokeless nicotine-delivery devices but also is selling them to passengers during flights.

“The stewards were brandishing the packs as they walked down the aisle,” one airline passenger reported. Ryanair is selling the nicotine cartridges for about $10 for a pack of 10.
