Smokers Airline Set To Light Up Next Year

You have got to be kidding

I think smoking in jets while flying is not a good idea. I suppose the smoke that comes from the smoking lounge will circulate through the plane?
It is bad enough when we have to inhale an already non-filtered air that circulates throughout the plane.
Smoking has to be banned on airlines for good. Regardless of cigarettes company that still try to destroy human environment.
I don’t want to sit next to a smoker who smells bad of smoke or smell his/her breath every time they come back from the smoking lounge.

is this a “GAG” ?

Bravo SMINTAIR!
No kids and no sanctimonious non-smokers! I will definitely be a patron. Besides, body odor and germ-ridden children smell worse. And who wants to sit next to someone so fat that part of them is in your seat? Yuck. Don’t want to sit next to a smoker? Don’t fly on this airline.

If you don’t like the smoke, or recirculated smoke, then you’ve an easy choice — DON’T FLY THIS AIRLINE. For those who enjoy smoking en flight, then here’s the airline for you. Personally, I would also like an airline which doesn’t allow anyone to fly with them under the age of 6 (or alternatively has a sound-proof section where they and their adults must sit). I’ve been much more disturbed by crying/screaming babies than by someone smoking.

Leimomi,
Then don’t fly that airline.
It is about time!

Then don’t take this flight. As long as someone knows ahead of time what the situation is, he has no legitimate reason to complain. This applies to a whole slew of issues in which one group of people attempt to cram their personal preferences down _everyone’s_ throats. Personal choice, personal responsibility. Cf: don’t like restaurants that serve meat? Don’t eat there. Don’t mandate that all restaurants become vegetarian.

“Holy moley”……someone who’s not affraid to use the ‘stewardess’ word, or affraid to provide good meals as well as to let you smoke afterwards…….dang, they might even let you have two carry-on pieces of luggage
“Right On” SMINTAIR,….. mom was right, what goes around comes around. Who knows, other airlines may jump onboard.

Ok, good for smokers, you have an airline, but Smoke On, here’s something you said that I dont get:
“And who wants to sit next to someone so fat that part of them is in your seat?”
Who wants to sit next to someone puffing smoke in your face? Not me. Even if I was a smoker. And not everyone who doesnt smoke is self-rightous, pitying those that do.

forget sanctimonious.
they won’t get a whole lot of business, only people who smoke and people who don’t care.
i’d take screaming babies and fat people over smokers any day – they have nothing to do with the air we have to share in that cramped cabin. hate unruly kids? spend $2 on earplugs or $10 on earphones. don’t like fat people? buck up and pay for first class, ask for another seat, get an exit seat, or just don’t sit in the middle.
there will be pure oxygen flowing throughout the cabin, and they’re going to let people light up? you can’t possibly believe that’s a good idea, practically speaking.

The non-smokers, who proclaimed the baloney about second hand smoke, will be sneaking on the smoker flights to get in on the goodies, “Charming and beautiful flight attendants.” Not to mention the glory days of air travel by providing elegant meals and attentive service.

Is it not true that almost all airlines are smoke-free? what the hell are you anti smokers moaning about! If you don’t want to go on an airline where smoking is allowed then don’t book at seat on it! Its as simple as that so stop whining and go get angry about something worth getting annoyed about like global warming or starving children!

I watched a city’s council hearings on whether to ban smoking in restaurants. What struck me as deplorable was that the non-smokers weren’t content to allow restaurant owners to choose whether or not to allow smoking in their own restaurants; they demanded that no restaurants allow smoking. No compromise. Reformers that demand that all must live their way. They won. Freedom lost. Perhaps we should demand that no one be allowed to drink alcohol or consume meat or sugar. Lets ban sex for any but married couples, or for people under 25, or in certain states (Check out the Center for Disease Control STD statistics.). There is so much that I don’t do that I could demand noone else be allowed to do.

I believe that this has been tried before — an airline allowing cigarette smoking on board. What a novel idea! But those airlines go out of business. Why? Because somewhat fewer than a quarter of adults smoke. The vast majority do not. so despite the sanctimonious claims of smokers, they are the ones on the losing end of this argument. Obviously, any nonsmoker would be a complete idiot to book a flight on this airline. And they really are not idiot. The nonsmokers, I mean. and so they won’t be booking this airline. And there are simply not enough smokers, or those who are willing to sit on a plane full of smokers, for this to succeed.
So have fun, all of you who are addicted to tobacco and think it’s cool or charming or a moderate vice that shouldn’t bother any of the rest of us. I have no sympathy for any of you who took up the habit after the Surgeon General’s report in 1964, a mere 43 years ago. That was when it was not merely understood but publicized that smoking was Very Bad for you. If you missed the report then, too bad. It’s not as if this is hidden information. So smoke yourselves to death. I don’t care. Just understand that you cannot do it in public places, in restaurants or bars or on board airplanes (with apparently a few exceptions). You are all aged by smoking, and die young. sigh. What a loss.
