I honestly can't believe we used to be able to smoke on planes.

I never minded it because my parents smoked, but jeebus. We're all going to die from cancer if you flew any time prior to 1994.

Sadly, I bet if Hooters Air allowed smoking, it would be a gold mine. -- nm - Spawn Feb 16, 11:47
I've never flown on a plane where smoking was allowed. I simply can't even imagine it. - ty97 Feb 16, 11:44 1
- it was unpleasant. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 11:45
I went to Florida when I was 14, and I was sneaking fags down the back four rows of the plane. Wild now that you look back on it. -- nm - Loyola Feb 16, 11:42 5
- Ahh, the things my dreams are made of -- nm - ty97 Feb 16, 11:45
- That would be wild to see...not so sure I'd want to though - J Feb 16, 11:43 1
  - :) yeah we were all half nuts in those days -- nm - Loyola Feb 16, 11:50
- and in this point Loyola learns that the word 'fags' has a very different meaning in North America -- nm - Roger More Feb 16, 11:43

I can't belive you could do so up until '94. Has it really been only that long? - Mel Profit Feb 16, 11:42 4
- it stopped on domestic flights long before international. it was the mid-80s in canada, - mafic Feb 16, 11:50
- I did a quick search and Delta started the ban in 1995, but I could be wrong. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 16, 11:43 2
  - IIRC, the domestic ban came a few years earlier. The long-haul ban came by the mid 90s -- nm - ty97 Feb 16, 11:45
  - thanks. that's just wacky. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 16, 11:44
Sitting in a smoking car on a train in Europe was... eye-opening. - TFox Feb 16, 11:41
I couldn't imagine what that was like, I'm so glad I never experienced it. -- nm - Krusty - Springfield Hall of Famer Feb 16, 11:41 2
- there was a "smoking section" which was a complete joke. -- nm - loosilu Feb 16, 11:44
- Like flying in an ashtray, really. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 16, 11:42
