I agree, but was he/they any more irresponsible than some of the pilots on the earlier troll thread who made smoking in the cockpit out to be a flight safety issue rather than anti-social behaviour? The passengers who posted can't be expected to know any better but the pilots have got no excuse.
The change in rules have come about because we know more about the health risks of passive smoking and there's been a change in attitude to smoking in the workplace not because there's any evidence that it's a danger to flight safety. People smoked in the cockpit for years and there's no evidence it ever caused an accident. Smoking has been banned for social reasons and as a non-smoker I'm pleased but it's not a flight safety issue.
