So you’re sitting and waiting for the train and the announcer informs you that it’s running a little late. For vapers there’s one question that comes to mind while waiting - can I vape on a train?

Unfortunately, when it comes to mass transit, using vape pens is often prohibited. Virgin Trains stated that every train and station in the UK is smoke free including vape pens so you’ll have to wait until you’re off the train, off the platform, and onto neutral territory - i.e. the street - to use your device.

So what are some alternatives to pass the time on your subway or train ride? Here are a few suggestions:

1. Catch some zzz’s. We know it’s hard to fall asleep when you’re sitting upright. But even a light snooze can improve productivity.

2. Read a book. Not into books? Magazines will do.

3. Netflix and chill — no really. Download, stream, whatever you need to do to get some multimedia flowing on your screen. Definitely helps the time fly.

4. People watch. There are some interesting characters on mass transit. Sit back and enjoy the free entertainment.
