For what it's worth (unless you're balling out in a private flight), that's highly illegal and a federal offense in the USA [1]. Not sure if you're in another country, but I do question the legitimacy of that comment if in the US. None the less, I do agree vaping is gross/annoying.

- thesiniot 4y agoAirlines and the FAA have way bigger problems than obnoxious vapers. In practice, you have to behave very poorly to merit any sort of serious response: https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/faa-levies-161823-against-eight-passengers-alleged-alcohol-related-unruly-behavior https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/faa-levies-161823-against-eight... They even have a small ad campaign to celebrate their leniency: "You could have spent $35k on a brand new truck, but instead you are paying a fine because you punched a flight attendant": https://www.faa.gov/data_research/passengers_cargo/unruly_passengers/toolkit https://www.faa.gov/data_research/passengers_cargo/unruly_pa...
