The rule most people are defaulting to in absence of any legislation is to ban it where smoking is banned.
But if they want to ban it because of the poly glycol emissions they've got a problem because the carrier liquid poly glycol is the same as what is used in breathing aid devices like asthmatic inhalers and a crapload of air treatment systems.
"Propylene glycol and dipropylene glycol were first registered in 1950 and 1959, respectively, by the FDA for use in hospitals as air disinfectants."
"Indoor Non-Food: Propylene glycol is used on the following use sites: air treatment (eating establishments, hospital, commercial, institutional, household, bathroom, transportational facilities); medical premises and equipment, commercial, institutional and industrial premises and equipment; laundry equipment; hard non-porous surface treatments (bathroom facilities); automobiles; air conditioning filters; pet treatment, including cats, dogs, and caged birds; environmental inanimate hard surfaces; garbage containers/storage."
I've vaped on flights plenty. No one has ever complained. Just don't go blowing copious amounts of vapor. If you hold it long enough nothing comes out. I've vapped sitting right next to people and they have not even noticed. It also does not set off the detectors in the lavatories.
They actually sell them onboard for in flight use on RyanAir over in the UK.
