Can you take e cigerettes in your hand luggage?

Yes, you can take cigarettes on airplanes, but you cannot smoke them on airplanes. Because an airplane is filled with pressurized air, there is no way to clear smoke from a cabin. Also, disposing of a cigarette in a trash can could start a fire that produces toxic smoke and disables control systems, thus causing the plane to crash.

Some say the TSA or your local airport security agency will confiscate any cigarettes you attempt to take aboard, but this is simply not the case. As a smoker, I have never been questioned about having cigarettes in my purse or in the carry-on bag. I do; however, put any extra packs in the checked bag.
