For what it's worth (unless you're balling out in a private flight), that's highly illegal and a federal offense in the USA [1]. Not sure if you're in another country, but I do question the legitimacy of that comment if in the US. None the less, I do agree vaping is gross/annoying.

Airlines and the FAA have way bigger problems than obnoxious vapers. In practice, you have to behave very poorly to merit any sort of serious response:

They even have a small ad campaign to celebrate their leniency: "You could have spent $35k on a brand new truck, but instead you are paying a fine because you punched a flight attendant":

I was in business class on a United flight over the US. I was pretty sure the cabin crew was aware and my partner didn't want me to make a fuss over it.
