TRF4EVR-- that is about the worst answer I've seen yet-- so you are suggesting that to be a good Captain one needs to be a totally selfish egocentric? Safety has improved in recent years - partly due to reduced cross-cockpit gradient-- where does your model Captain fit ?? Face it-- Smoking is Drug addiction and people need treatment-- forcing the side products of that addiction on another person does nothing to improve aircraft safety! In most countries smoking on aircraft at ANY time is illegal, so anyone continuing to smoke is breaking the law, quite apart from any related health issues!
