Ryanair is allowing passengers to puff on “smokeless”
cigarettes during flights.
Cabin staff on short-haul services sell the devices –
which can be legally smoked in public places – at £6 for
a pack of 10.
The cigs are promoted as a nicotine fix for people
who can’t wait until they land for their next fag.
A passenger said: “The stewards were brandishing the
packs as they walked down the aisle. No one bought any.”
Martin Dockrell, from Action on Smoking and Health,
said: “Our concern with these products is that there
isn’t much evidence as to their safety.”
The cigs use cartridges of nicotine that are inhaled
before a water vapour that resembles smoke is breathed
out by the user.
The fags do not contain tobacco or any of the harmful
chemicals found in normal cigarettes.
