Haha, they can try to light up but endangering the safety of an aircraft would be met with a pretty big punishment. Ignorance isn't a good enough excuse when there are lights above your head and PA's made. If pax choose to not listen then they will be punished by the courts and there plea of ignorance will fall on deaf ears (haha-get it? Made me laugh anyway). The police would escort them from the a/c and take them to the cells and they'd probably get a fairly hefty fine. If they really can't wait to have a cigarette and would rather take the risk, let them. The fag would be put out pretty quick by crew, they would then have to go thru all the police crap and waste a majority if not all of their holiday. Is it really worth the risk? Just get some patches
