I've talked to some of my contemporaries in other UK (CAA) airlines and it seems that Flight Deck smoking has pretty much died out. In the case of FR the growth rate and relative anarchy of the operation seems to preclude any effective control. Personally-- I don't care if people smoke as long as it doesn't affect others. What amazes me in this situation is that the smokers consider it their right to inflict this filthy and dangerous habit on others such as myself. On top of that the flight decks can become dirty smelly places for the next crew taking over-- remember these aircraft only get cleaned once in 24 hours and even then not very thoroughly.
