Pax smoke hoods?

A fire man I know seems to think all airlines now issue smoke hoods to pax.
Anyone got any clues?!

They are not recommended for pax as the time to put them on is longer than the certified evacution time.

I have on of my own that I carry carried in a small cannister that is just pulled over the head with a mouthpiece on the cannister.

Puts on quit quickly after trying on a time expired one.

Could be a very valuable thing, if only you knew how to use a such a thing. We continue to fill the interiors of a/c with stuff that gives off noxious fumes when combusted. They say that a couple of lungfulls of that stuff and you are on the floor - death follows shortly after.
I'm all for it. However, bear in mind;

i) The beancounters will never stand for it.

ii) I at least partially agree with Biscuit Chucker - a cabin fire in an airliner is a very bad day out, not liable to end happily.
