Our airline Operations Flight Manual prohibits smoking in the cockpit and in any other part of the cabin.
Yet as is the case in few airlines, you are bound to fly with someone who smokes.
What do you do if you fly with a captain that smokes ? some are kind enough to ask to light a cig up, but let us get real, if you do refuse, it woulld only make things worse. Afterall, not getting one's nicotine fix could constitute a threat to safety.
Good and realistic imputs would be appreciated.
NB: is there an international legislation protecting pilots from second hand smoking ?
