Vaping devices, including reusable and disposable e-cigarettes, can be dangerous on ships. The U.S. Navy reported 15 incidents where e-cigarettes exploded on ships, causing injuries and fire risks. These incidents led to a ban on e-cigarettes across all Navy ships, submarines, and aircraft. Read more about the risks in the official U.S. Navy article.
In another case, the Marine Safety Forum shared a story about a disposable vape that caught fire in a crew cabin, highlighting how easily these devices can become a hazard on board. You can find more details in the official Marine Safety Forum report.
Vaping devices are not just a fire risk, they also harm the environment. The World Health Organization (WHO) warns that e-cigarettes contribute to plastic pollution and create waste that is difficult to dispose of properly. More information is available in the WHO’s report on tobacco industry environmental impacts.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also state that e-cigarette waste can contain plastic, nicotine, metals, and batteries, all of which can damage the environment. Learn more in the CDC’s official publication.
