BERLIN - A German businessman has founded an airline dedicated to smokers.Smintair, or "Smokers' International Airways," aims to cater for smoking passengers, particularly from Asia, who feel they have been squeezed out of the market.
Its first aircraft are due to take off in October on a route between Dusseldorf and Tokyo and are expected to serve mainly Japanese businessmen.
.........
"It disturbs me that I pay a lot of money for a ticket only to be told what I can and cannot do," he said.

That's the problem.
It would be better for even you if you'd breathe the same air as the non-smoker.
That's because the non-smoker had no rights and was often ostracized if they complained - not to mention that it did no good.
It makes them very easy to spot though! So, an anti-smoking nazi posts a thread about.....
A German businessman has founded an airline dedicated to smokers.
and the first post is how he/she/it will never fly on it. That is not the point of the article. No one will be forced to fly this new airline, it simply offers a choice to those that choose to take it.
Nanny Staters and Smoke gnatzies can't allow others anything for themselves. Spoils all their control.
ROTFLOL!!!
All addicts are. It has nothing to do with being Japanese.
And the viral illnesses that people get breathing that re-circed air.
But the actual exercising of free choice can often be inconvenient, therefore, the Public Sector should dictate that all choices be equivalent.
Whatever happened to adulthood?
Frankly, with all the coughing/sneezing/kicking little offspring I experience on virtually every flight I take, I'd gladly put up with a little tobacco-smoke odor.
On a positive note, it's easier to spot cabin leaks by looking for the smoke stains on the outside.
And you wear your ring on your pretty little pinky. How thweet.
BTW, don't go camping or your might start on fire and pass out being with 200 yards of a campfire. Never become a combat infantryman or artilleryman.
You can probably order a stainless steel sphere with a pure O2 feed, on E-bay and live on nothing but distilled water. Remember, never swim in a lake because there are micro-organism that will kill you within 24 hours.
In short, stay off my property.
The country is very dangerous.
Now where did I put that Winston Churchill cigar...
One of 2 ways.......you appearance on nanny state threads or you asked to be put on it. My list is not just for smoking issues.........it's for ALL nanny state nonsense.
What twists my shorts are these lily-livered pansies that try to dictate to others how to live their lives.
That's me!!!!!
I'd love to stand up in an anti-smokers convention and walk around the room and nit-pick everyone in the place.
There's one in D.C. next month........
Glad to know you're not black.....it's beautiful - you're not.
Liberals don't understand personal choice. They want you to live your life their way... I don't like red heads. I do like blondes. By their standards, if they like red heads, I have to marry a red head.
Note Columbo's cigar in his left hand. (hehe)
No, YOU and your kind are the problem.
It would be better for even you if you'd breathe the same air as the non-smoker.
We do, unfortunately it is just as polluted and nasty as the air you breathe, with or without tobacco smoke.
Let me know when and if you ever find the so-called clean air you claim to have when not around the evil tobacco smokers........
I despise them all..............
You are so correct. You are a perfect example with your addiction to making abusive comments about your betters.
Capitalism is beautiful...
Ya know maine-iac, it's late and I have become quite bored with this thread. Perhaps you should read the article before you attack me.
It is about an airline dedicated to smokers so they have a CHOICE. Do you remember what a choice is? No one will be rounded up and forced into the plane and strapped in against their will.
Smintair's founder.....said he was trying to offer an alternative in an age when smoking is banned on all major airlines.
I LOVE it.
On that note I will bid you all a fond goodnight.........I've got a mess of stuff to do in the morning and need to get up at a reasonable hour. I know me, if I keep this up I'll still be up when the hubby gets up for work........can't do that, need sleep :)
Nite All!!!
The government arrived to help us with that. ;*)
