News reaches us from America that their Department of Transportation is considering banning the use of electronic cigarettes on commercial airlines.
More than 700 people commented on the proposal which is due to be decided by Summer 2012.
The proposal’s been put forward because of the increased promotion and use of electronic cigarettes.
The department has said that although it considers electronic cigarettes to be covered under the existing law banning smoking on aeroplanes, it intends to adopt a rule specifically banning them.
If the move goes ahead it could spell a problem for travellers who rely on the use of e cigs to calm their nerves during flights.
US heartthrob Johnny Depp’s been recently spotted using an electronic cigarette. The star of films including Edward Scissorhands and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has been a smoker of traditional cigarettes for years but he seems to be following the trend of other A-listers including Katherine Hiegl who have made the switch.
Depp used a Smart Smoker e-cig in the film The Tourist. His character can be seen using our device during a scene with Angelina Jolie whilst travelling on a train.
We were asked to send the electronic cigarette to Venice, on the set of the film.
The film makers sent a courier to pick up the e-cig and it seems as though Mr Depp liked the gadget!
Electronic cigarettes can be legally used anywhere and are not subject to the ban on smoking in public places which is making them popular amongst stars of the silver screen and members of the public alike!
