More than half of the UK’s 23 airports now have complete bans on smoking and vaping in place for travellers once they get through security, a study has revealed.
Only 11 of these airports have a place for smokers to light up before getting their flight after their bags have been scanned – and even vape users aren't spared, as these restrictions extend to e-cigarettes too.
This means nicotine users could be forced to go without for several hours prior to take-off – potentially longer if there’s a delay – in addition to the time spent in the air.
