Inflammatory question but can you use a Nicorette inhalator on a plane?

[twiddlingthumbs69]

I’m going on a very long haul flight and currently trying to stop vaping using the inhaler.

As it doesn’t emit a vapour etc can it be used on a plane?

The airline only states that vapes cannot be used, for obvious reasons, and doesn’t mention the inhalators.

Anyone have any knowledge?

Well I have and never had an issue

If you start to type that question into Google the answer comes up immediately, along with advice.
I don’t understand why MN is a first choice to ask things like this

I always do this yes.

@Isgooglebrokenbecause the answers are not consistent on Google

Don't do it when any crew can see you, just in case they think it's a vape.

@oncemoreuntothebeachdearfriendsbut does that matter if it’s allowed?

Ring the airline and ask

I would say yes, as there is no flame,vapour, smell or emissions from it, nor does it contain a battery. Google search says the same.

Agreed. I was on a flight where this happened to someone.

@Darragon eeek! That’s my fear. How embarrassing 🙈

I believe it depends on the airline. I believe you cannot use one on a Virgin Atlantic flight for example. You should read the FAQ pages of the airline you are flying with. You could also have the issue that staff just think it’s a normal vape.

Have you never read a MN thread before? 😀

Have you considered using patches instead so you have consistent nicotine rather than a sneaky hit every so often?

@7238SM that was going to be my back up plan

DH has always used one, numerous flights, numerous airlines. He's pretty obvious about it as well - if anyone says anything you just say that it's NRT, same as patches.

You could do patches and lozenges?

The answers are never consistent on MN!

Yes, in case they don't know the difference.

Just asked emirates. They don’t know either. They have no policy on them and say it’s up to the discretion of the cabin crew 🤔

Of course you can. If anyone says anythig you just explain its nicotine replacement not a vape or cig

why not try it now before your flight?

I think using the patches would also help you break the habit of 'using' something.

Well, that's helpful.

NOT

@FWC2026. Yes, you’re right. I’ll get some now to try. I feel like I’m trying to find a way to smuggle illegal goods 😂

You could always use it in the toilet. If it doesn't emit a vapour it won't set off the smoke alarm.

Ring an airline! For this! It’s undoubtedly on their website.
