Actions speak louder than words, and in last week’s House hearing regarding e-cigarettes, Rep. Duncan Hunter vaped. In an effort to show that vaping is safe and should be allowed on airlines, Hunter’s vaping was a first at the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee meeting.
“This is called a vaporizer. There’s no combustion; there’s no carcinogens,” Hunter said during the meeting.
Newsmax reports that his effort didn’t work, as an amendment passed to ban e-cigarettes on planes with a 33-26 vote.
Hunter wrote in The Hill last year that vaping helped him quit smoking. “The reason I vape is simple: It’s so I don’t smoke cigarettes,” he wrote. “I vape knowing that I’m not inhaling tobacco. Most importantly, I vape because I believe it could save my life.”
