Can I use e cigarettes on board Chiltern trains

The smoking of cigarettes and vaping of e-cigarettes is prohibited on Chiltern Railways trains and at Chiltern railway stations. Given their remarkable likeness the use of e-cigarettes can cause concern amongst other passengers.

In the same way as you would expect people to react if you were to vape an e-cigarette in a restaurant, in the confined space of a railway carriage or platform, their use has led to complaints. In light of this, we have issued guidance to our staff to ask people using an e-cigarette to stop doing so for the comfort and convenience of their fellow passengers. Similarly to being asked to turn off a mobile phone if the conversation is causing irritation to others, most customers observe a form of social etiquette and do not deliberately undertake actions when they realise these could be annoying other people in their vicinity.
