Great CRM ....
I smoke, but never in the cockpit ... thats a personal thing .... other Captains maintain it as their right to do so, but are discreet about it ......... so .......... as we are all part of a team up there, and with a bit of thought applied, unless the cabin crew member had an issue with the captain, why say that to a planeload of passengers, probably a fair proportion of whom were also smokers ? one rule for them, another for us ? that won't go down well.
I'm happy that flights are non smoking nowdays for everyones sakes, but most of the fumes on the flight deck are from burnt bread rolls in the ovens, and there is something called live and let live eh ?
