But the bottom line with many of these incidents is nicotine addiction. For most smokers alcohol induces the desire to light up even more. Imprisoned for long hours in a tube does nothing to help these poor addicts. It won't stop others. Why? Because I'm certain that none of these air rage perpetrators boarded their aircraft with the intention of causing trouble. Ten years in jail isn't the solution. Smoking areas on longhaul flights could be. P.S. I'm a non smoker.
