Personal portable humidifier.
Is personal portable humidifier allowed to use in the cockpit or in the crew rest?
Can the passengers use it?
Are there any regulations?

I use a USB powered humidifier occasionally both in the cockpit and in the crew rest, one of those that screw securely onto small water bottles - considering the air flow and the miniscule evaporation rate of the thing probably all i am feeling is the placebo effect, but my nose and sinuses seem happier I would classify it as a PED, so it depends what your legislation says about those in the cockpit...

Given the low humidity in airliner cockpits, I would think a non-battery powered mini humidifier would be welcomed by both the employer and the employee's union.
Here is one that uses only capillary action and fits in a cup-holder:

Total waste of time and effort.
A little wick or one powered by the feeble current of a USB cannot possibly add significantly (probably not even measurably) to the humidity in a cockpit under any circumstances, and certainly not with aircon on. Remember the refresh rates for cabin air?
Your knowledge of basic physics should tell you this idea is pure pie-in-the-sky woo-woo.
Drink the water if you feel dehydrated!
