Could e-cigarettes be banned from luggage on planes? Airport calls for crackdown after device blamed for fire in aircraft's hold
The debate over whether there should be tougher rules or an outright ban on electronic cigarettes on planes has been reignited in the US after one of the devices was blamed for a small fire.
