<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The policy isn&#39;t for smoking it&#39;s for tobacco products.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>In airborne school you can smoke and use tobacco products before and after training. At no point can you have them on you during training. True story, when I was in jump school a private got caught with a can of dip after our 5th jump, waiting for the busses and he was dropped from the course. Big no no.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Per AR 600-63 smoking is not allowed except in designated smoking areas. E-cigarettes and like devices (vaping) are considered smoking, with the exception of vehicles. The regulation specifically states tobacco products may not be used in vehicles and while that is a grey area it&#39;s best not to test it.<br /><br />That said you may be subject to command policies that further restrict the regulation due to the training environment or just because the command says so.<br /><br />Additionally vaping in the barracks is typically a no go and usually states so in the housing policy. While housing policies are not typically punitive it&#39;s not a good idea with be pushing peoples buttons with technicalities. Great way to end up on someone&#39;s radar in a bad way.<br /><br />You&#39;ll probably be allowed to vape in your down time in designated areas but if you&#39;re overly concerned about being able to do it I wouldn&#39;t bother and just give it up for the duration of the training. You&#39;ll also find vaping rules are enforced overseas depending on the unit, so that&#39;s something to keep in mind down the road.
