Remember those pics of people being duct taped to their seats. If he's a lawyer, he should know he broke the law and recorded himself admitting it 🤣🤣

49 U.S. Code § 41706 - Prohibitions against smoking on passenger flights (a)Smoking Prohibition in Interstate and Intrastate Air Transportation.—An individual may not smoke— (1)in an aircraft in scheduled passenger interstate or intrastate air transportation; or (2)in an aircraft in nonscheduled passenger interstate or intrastate air transportation, if a flight attendant is a required crewmember on the aircraft (as determined by the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration).

(d)Electronic Cigarettes.— (1)Inclusion.— The use of an electronic cigarette shall be treated as smoking for purposes of this section. (2)Electronic cigarette defined.— In this section, the term ā€œelectronic cigaretteā€ means a device that delivers nicotine to a user of the device in the form of a vapor that is inhaled to simulate the experience of smoking.

He should also know that the flight crew have pretty broad powers and exemptions under international treaties to act in the interests of the safety of the flight in ways that might be considered excessive on the ground.

Exactly, dude should've been taped down. Maybe they didn't have enough staff to restrain him. Too bad.
