Nope, didn't even think you could do that.





But Samuel L Jackson did smoke a couple snakes on a plane.

Yeah, on my Dassault Falcon 7X. I sip my rare and fine beverages, partake of my oh so very rare and aged Cuban stock, (that you plebians can't afford) and look haughtily down upon those less fortunate while on my way to the Monaco GP.

My friend has a plane, but doesn't smoke on it(even tho he is a cigar smoker) just to avoid the smell and chance of ashes making a mess. Remember, we're not cigarette smokers, we're not addicted! You don't see us huddled at the corner of a building in sub freezing temperatures to get our nicotine fix!

Maybe in the real early days one could smoke stogies on the big planes, but, like most places, it was cigs only in the 70s- no cigars or pipes.

I believe up until a few years ago, you could still smoke on Saudi Airlines. At least that is what some British tourists told me in Indonesia.

When I was a kid, I remember my grandfather smoking cigars in his planes--not commercially, though.

Everyone has probably read the story about Danny DeVito from CA:

"I was flying to Europe right after we finished The War of the Roses. It was an all-night flight. We had a great meal and they were going to pour some Port and I had a stogie with me and there were only a handful of people in first class. I had had a couple of drinks and I was with friends and I was feeling good. It was just the perfect time for a nice stogie. The flight attendants had been real friendly, so I said, 'Boy, I would really love to fire up now.' They said, 'You really can't.' I asked why not. They said the passengers would be really upset. I said, 'What if I asked every passenger on the plane--first class, coach, everyone--if they minded?' One of the flight attendants said, 'Well, OK, if you get everyone's permission.'

"I got up and walked the full length of the plane and said hello to everyone who was awake and asked if I could smoke. Everyone said OK. But there was one guy in the back of the first-class cabin who said, 'There is no way you are going to light up a cigar on this airplane' "--DeVito smiles his slyly malevolent movie smile--"'unless you give me one.'"

I love this story! :ss

Never smoked on a plane, but ....

why I remember during the Blitz being on watch in the dirigibles (please don't call them 'balloons'!) keeping a watch for the Hun. We'd be tethered 300-400 meters up by a couple of metal cables designed to give their old kites the ol' one-two. Well, back then, you were just amazed if you lived to see the dawn, so we thought nothing of smoking 2, maybe 3 cigars a night. Those were the days! A couple of good smokes in your jacket pocket, an extra scarf and a thermos of coffee against the cold and duty for your country in your heart. Ah to be young again. Of course, it helped to do a couple hits of acid before going up so that you didn't chite your pants and all.

They made a documentary about that time... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rKYL0tW-Ek

If I remember correctly you don't have to be as old as Peter to have experienced a cigar on a plane. You could smoke on international flights in the 90's. Although I was to young then. :r

It's a joke. Dave's helicopter is open air, so smoking would be hard. Damn him and his love of convertibles.

I smoked a cigar on a Douglas DC-7 back in 1966 or so going to Chicago. Not long after that, they banned cigars and pipes and made it cigarettes only. Yeah, you have to have gray hair to remember that.

So you h ave smoked on a plain but not on a plane.;)

When I was a Crew Chief back in the mid to late 80's I know a few of the crew members smoked small cigars because other crew members hated it. I don't think they were allowed to smoke on them anymore but nobody narc'd them oout.

Insert "Midnight Express" theme music here.

Have you ever seen a grown man naked?
Do you like gladiator movies?

The only times I was on a plane and smoking was allowed was in '98. I was in Greece taking a domestic flight from Athens to Thesaloniki. Olympic airlines allowed you to smoke and the plane stunk because everyone was smoking cigarettes.

Ive smoked in a Cessna at 6500 feet before... Havent done so in several years, as there is some concern that the smoke can damage the avionics through contamination and tar accumulation... All of the planes I fly nowadays are placarded for no smoking...:mad:
