If you accidentally catch a fire, it will cause immeasurable and serious consequences.

Summer is here, the Capital Airport police remind passengers that they must abide by relevant laws and regulations when flying, and it is strictly forbidden to smoke e-cigarettes in the cabin and airport control areas.
