Don’t even think about pulling out a vape on your next Amtrak ride.

Tucked away in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act crafted by a bipartisan group of senators is a ban on the use of electronic cigarettes on the nation’s government-owned rail service — and President Joe Biden’s favorite method of transportation.

"Amtrak shall prohibit smoking, including the use of electronic cigarettes, onboard all Amtrak trains,” the bill says. “The term ‘electronic cigarette’ means a device that delivers nicotine or other substances to a user of the device in the form of a vapor that is inhaled to simulate the experience of smoking.”

1. I don't or never vapped, but isn't it just water vapors?

I don’t understand it much but I didn’t think they released carbon.

2. I'm sure it has an aroma. NT

3. It's Bullshit

I vape am allowed to in my brother's home whereas I used to have to go outside as well as in his vehicles on trips. It is a smoking cessation product and laws preventing their use is totally non-productive. Instead of looking at the facts they claim it is just like smoking and ban it.
