Ryanair allowing passengers to puff on ‘smokeless’ cigarettes during flights
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.
