Are e-cigarettes included in the prohibition on tobacco use on CAP aircraft?

• A. Yes, it includes all tobacco products including e-cigarettes
• B. No, it excludes e-cigarettes
• C. Only during training flights
• D. Only on international flights

Answer: (A)

Electronic cigarettes are considered tobacco products for CAP's purposes, because they deliver nicotine and are used as a nicotine delivery system. The prohibition on tobacco use aboard CAP aircraft is broad and covers any form of tobacco product, not just traditional cigarettes. That means using e-cigarettes is banned in the cabin just like smoking a cigarette. The rule applies to all CAP flights—training or mission, domestic or international—so there’s no exception for certain flight types. This consistency helps reduce secondhand exposure and avoids potential hazards from vapors and device batteries in the aircraft.
