I wonder if the Navy is banning all electronic devices with lithium-ion batteries.
Here's the Navy Times story:

LTC (Join to see) These Lithium Battery Explosions on anything with a Lithium Battery have really become a Problem. I think these Electronic Smokes are far better Health Wise than Conventional Cigarettes but not Ideal. I don't know if You can still Smoke Regular Cigs on a Ship Underway in the Smoke Break but if you can this will force these folks back on to the Worse Option. Arrrgghhhh.

Oh I agree I have supervisor here at UPS who used to smoke cigarettes all the time and he said that ever since I started vaping a year ago he's cut back considerably he can even Vape maybe once or twice a day and his dosages now half of what it used to be. You probably only have a dozen instead of 200 chemicals that will kill you so yes it's an improvement over the past cigarettes but yes the lithium issue just like with the Samsung note whatever that could catch on fire. LOL

Now the Only bad thing with Flames I remember was Head of a Match I lit to light a Ciggy Lit and Shot off and Hit me in the Eye, Burned my Cornea and I had to wear a Patch fort 3 days but Having a Ciggy Blow Up in Your Face would Suck!

Only sad thing is Eddie Van Halen and others have had throat cancer from as it seems like chewing tobacco is sometimes more lethal
