A reader sent us a photograph of a very relaxed subway rider vaping from 125th Street to 59th Street on a southbound 5 train last week. But while this image may be so blisteringly douchey that you need sunglasses just to look at it, did you know that e-cigarettes are not yet illegal on subways?!
While the MTA has (basically) banned e-cigarettes from Metro-North and Long Island Rail Road trains, it hasn't decided on NYC Transit yet. Spokesman Kevin Ortiz told us, "We're reviewing in light of new city law"—e-cigarettes are outlawed wherever smoking is—"but we have not established a policy yet.."
So... vape 'em while you got 'em, bro! Putting your feet on the subway seat, though—WHAT KIND OF MONSTER ARE YOU?
