A passenger on an American Airlines flight who went ballistic at a flight attendant who caught him vaping has blamed nicotine withdrawal on his cringeworthy outburst.
Peter Nguyen went viral earlier this week after he was busted vaping in the bathroom on a flight from Phoenix to San Francisco on August 4.
After getting caught, he recorded his encounter with a flight attendant who reprimanded him for the illegal in-flight act.
After his antics made headlines, he told KVTU that he was going through withdrawal at the time and had to use the vape.
'I wish I never picked up a vape to begin with,' he said.
