Alton Towers is restricting the use of electronic cigarettes in the same manner it controls conventional smoking.
The park is restricting their use to the designated smoking areas which have been set up for smokers for the past few years.
The rule is not strictly enforced by Alton Towers staff, but the park makes note of it on its website and visitor maps.
Electronic cigarettes – or e-cigarettes – produce a virtually odourless and harmless vapour which is inhaled by the user, as opposed to conventional tabacco fumes.
