It should also be noted that since the ban, they no longer use fresh air to ventilate the planes; instead, they just run the air through a filtrations system which in an enclosed environment further exacerbates the problem. Apparently this guy thinks he can lie with impunity. If he lies here, what credibility is to be given to the rest of his article. The Boing 737 has exchange rates on the order of about 5 minutes. That means that every five minutes the cabin air is completely replaced. I think the figure for the incoming fresh air is about 25 cubic feet per second.

I know a lot of Smokers. It's a fairly common name around here. I believe that it's past time for all Smokers to band together against this constant, divisive denigration of their names by the intolerant anti-smoker lobby.

This sets up the perfect conditions for environmental aircraft conditions terrorism. Create a closed system. As I said: brilliant! I was working as a Travel Agent when Northwest started their smoking ban.
Another agent that had worked in the field for several years, said that the filter system in the planes were overloaded and filthy from smokers.
Get this: once all airlines banned smoking, the people in charge of cleaning the filters let them go, thinking that since there is no more smoking on the airline, the filters will remain cleaner longer.
Guess what: now when they go to change the filters, they are BEYOND FILTH. And that is the air the passengers breath.
BUT OMG! DON'T LET THEM SMOKE!

I wish for one week, that all the states would pull tobacco off of the shelves for just ONE week. It would be fun just to stand on the outside and watch the civil war. Can you imagine??? Think about it!You mean you think the anti-smokers would become violent when their shakedown money stops?
We know this is impossible, since they're superior in every way to mere mortals.
To: WildTurkey
"Why are smokers more violent than non-smokers?"How do you glom this?
I smoke cigars and have never once committed assault, murder or any other form of violent crime.

With your neuroses, I can't help asking:
Why would you go into a smoking room? In an airport or anywhere else...?

When smokers inhale and hold the smoke in.. instead of letting it out.. for those of us who don't like smoke to be forced to breath..(and not only their exhaled smoke but smoke coming off the end of the burning noxious weed stick stuck in their pie holes)... I will be all for their right to smoke the dang things...
Until then....it's war...and let the best man win...

Been using tobacco since 1983.... don't plan on stopping. Me either. And I really enjoy smoking. I smoke before and after everything I do. LOL!
Seriously, it's legal. I enjoy it. And I don't drink or do drugs. What's left? Got to have SOME fun in this day and age. At least I am not doing anything on the wrong side of the law, although the anti's are working very hard to make me feel like a criminal.
That's another thing: cigarettes are legal to purchase but then we are made to feel like low-life criminals for using them.

If you believe that junk you just quoted, please see my #21.
To: Polybius
I have no problem with you smoking in airports as long as your smoke does not go up my nose or stink up my clothes. Oh you are so sweet. Thanks for such wonderful tolerance. /sarcasm off
However, you know the ad on TV the town of PERFECT? Well, we don't LIVE in Perfect, now do we?
And the world does not rotate on your butt.

By far the greatest incidence of "air rage" is over alcohol... You are so right. And I believe today the flight attendants can shut a drinker off if they think the person has had enough. That person won't like that very well.

Nope. Sadly, her letter (and subsequent response) could apply to the city or Tempe, AZ too.

Are you in favor of the "smoking bans"? If you are, your screen name is damn funny.

I learned the difference between "breath" and breathe" in the third grade.

My favorite airport is Denver. Whenever I go pheasant hunting to N.W. Kansas, I make sure the flight to Hays is via Denver. The most profitable establishment there is their smoking bar. I love the 3 hour layover between flights in that bar because almost everyone smokes and those don't probably could care less and the bloody marys are the best around.

You mean you think the anti-smokers would become violent when their shakedown money stops? It sure would be interesting to watch, though.
And at the same time that tobacco is pulled from the shelves, the till dries up for the state. Instantly.
