Pull What

It is not just smoke but also Carbon Monoxide which is a danger. In pistons I used to have a Carbon Monoxide tester, some are just stick on so cheap and easy to apply.

a friend of mine had Carbon Monoxide poisoning while flying and it is he who also carries a meter length of clear plastic tube to place in his mouth and hang through the pilot side window should it happen again.

A useful addition for smoke too in aircraft that do not carry oxygen and a piece of tube costs literally nothing but could save your life with either smoke or Carbon Monoxide
