FastJetJock, I know a great number of people who can drink and upset other passengers, none of them are smokers.
I'd be interested to hear more about your "fire in the air..." theory, also just wondering how many accidents/emergencies/diversions were caused by passengers smoking when it was allowed, compared to hoiw many accidents/emergencies/diversions are attributable to smoking (or nicotine withdrawal), now that it has bee banned.
I reckon the statistics will speak for themselves.
As a smoker, I have no objection to going 8/10 hours without a cigarette on a long haul sector, but then again, I can control myself.
I think the idea of one all smoking flight would make a big difference, or when the super new futuristic a/c come into service maybe they'll pu a smokink room on board or maybea few people might start taking the airlines to court for breaches of human rights for them not allowing smoking!!!
