I think when I was in VNA, there was a rule about 1 cig per 30 min? But who adhered to that then ?? And for sure they’ll never change, let em’ be..
Being an anonymous forum, I wonder if this is actually the widespread view of others in the aviation community?
Hope I'm wrong but would be interesting to see.
