Vaping and Driving

Vaping might not be the first hazard on your mind while driving, but vaping and vapor clouds can present issues that are luckily easy to avoid. While you are watching out for real hazards such as bikers, pedestrians, or children, vaping should not be something that distracts you. At eJuice Direct, our goal is to help the vaping community stay safe wherever they go. Here are a few points to consider before vaping on the road, regardless of whether you’re a driver or a passenger.

Vapor Clouds

It is no secret that vapor clouds can fog up a room, and a car is no different. No matter where you are in a vehicle, the haze can spread through the air and obstruct the driver’s ability to see the road. Rolling down the windows and blowing your vapor out into the air is a simple solution to keep everyone in the car as safe as possible. We recommend doing your best to wait until you are out of the car, or if rolling down the windows is an impossibility, using a disposable vape pen as the clouds are much smaller and easier to diffuse into the air.

Hands-Free Driving

Just like texting or eating while driving, having a vape device in your hands or lap can be distracting. Especially if you use a bigger vape mod device that requires button-pushing to fire or power up, vaping behind the wheel may take your attention away from the two-ton piece of machinery currently under your operation. We recommend leaving your vape device in your bag until you reach your destination, or in your center console to keep it out of your hands as much as possible, but if you feel you must vape, we suggest using a disposable vape device to make puffing easy and seamless.

Passengers

In the small confines of a car, vapor and smell can affect everyone around you even more than in a house or room. The passengers in the vehicle will smell and breathe your vapor, and it can be unpleasant and distracting while on a long car ride, even with the most delicious e-juice. If you have read our Vaping Etiquette blog, you already know that the best course of action is to ask those around you how they feel about you vaping, and be cool with their answer. It is everyone’s air, and it is important to share it.

Laws and Regulations

There might be local or state laws in your location against vaping and driving, so it is important to check regulations before using a vape device behind the wheel. As we have mentioned, vaping in a car can present multiple potential hazards, and your local lawmakers may have already addressed these issues with laws prohibiting it. Some states have laws against using a ‘portable electronic device’ while driving, and vape devices are part of that category. At eJuice Direct, we always urge our community of vapers to follow laws and safety precautions before vaping in any public space or vehicle.

Vaping while driving can be a hazard, but following these simple tips can help you and your passengers stay safe and avoid running into trouble. eJuice Direct is always here to help our community prioritize safety and vape on, so reach out to our Customer Care Team with any questions, and our staff will be more than happy to help you find the answers you need. Stay safe out there, and happy vaping!
