smoking aboard an aircraft is illegal and poses a fire risk

When smoking was legal on commercial flights for over 50 years, I don't think there was one case of a cigarette starting a fire.

It’s still done on private flights. Any biz jet with PM at the end of the tail number even hands out free cigarettes. My pilot and copilot seats have no arm rests so the ashtrays are built into the side windows trim panels. The crew always has one hand on the yoke and one on the engines quadrant controls. No use for arm rests.

I remember those days....if you were a non smoker you sat in the far back while all that smoke filtered back to you.....

insanity.....
