On August 25, a netizen posted that a passenger was smoking on the plane, "the flight attendant reminded him twice, and the plane was on the runway preparing to take off, but turned back."

On August 26, a reporter from The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) learned from Spring Airlines that on a flight departing from Shanghai on August 25, a passenger ignored the crew's dissuasion and smoked an e-cigarette in the cabin. The crew immediately called the police and the passenger was taken off the plane by the police.

The reporter learned from an informed source that the flight number in question was 9C8559, which flew from Shanghai Pudong to Seoul Incheon on August 25.

The "VariFlight" App showed that on August 25, flight 9C8559 from Shanghai Pudong to Seoul Incheon was scheduled to take off at 12:50, but actually took off at 14:32.

Why can't you smoke on airplanes?

According to the WeChat public account of "China Civil Aviation Network", the cabin environment is closed and smoking will endanger the health of passengers. The cabin of the aircraft is equipped with a smoke alarm system. The smoke produced by smoking (including electronic cigarettes) will cause the system to alarm and affect the normal flight of the aircraft. Most importantly, smoking in the cabin is prone to fire, which seriously endangers flight safety.

Does vaping count as "smoking"? E-cigarettes are also prohibited on airplanes. E-cigarettes use lithium batteries, which pose safety risks such as battery explosion and liquid leakage. Once electronic products spontaneously ignite and catch fire, it will greatly threaten flight safety.

The relevant provisions of the "Notice of the Public Security Bureau of the Civil Aviation Administration of China on Maintaining Civil Aviation Order and Ensuring Aviation Transport Safety" clearly state that "smoking (including e-cigarettes)" is one of the prohibited behaviors on aircraft.
