Mmm. Food for thought there. Has anyone ever thought to study air rage incidents and work out what proportion of the people involved are drunk, smokers and especially smokers who have had too much to drink?
I'm a fairly heavy smoker and find it infuriating not to be able to, on long haul flights especially. My answer is to have a number of stiff drinks and to go to sleep (which is what I do when p*ssed). Many people don't - see any town centre on a Saturday night for proof of that. Could the smoking ban indirectly be responsible for the rise in air rage?
