Probably true. However, I'm convinced that smokers will never understand why non-smokers have a problem being around them at times too.
We're talking lighters here, not smoking politics.
Uh oh.... Now there is a sweeping statement. I am one of those smokers that DOES understand and I follow the 'NO Smoking' rules where ever I am. It just seems that sometimes there is nowhere for us to go.
Personally, I don't fly unless absolutely necessary.
