Which statement about electronic or USB powered smoking devices on board is correct?

• A. They can be charged by flight attendants
• B. The devices may not be charged on board
• C. They are allowed to be used anywhere
• D. They can be charged with USB

Answer: (B)

Charging electronic smoking devices on a plane is restricted because their lithium‑ion batteries can overheat or fail, creating a fire hazard in the cabin. To maintain safety, crews do not charge these devices, and passengers should not attempt to charge them during the flight. In addition, use of such devices is generally prohibited in the cabin, reinforcing the overall no-smoking rules. So, charging them on board is not allowed, including via USB.
