This is the second pro smoking post I’ve seen of yours on this thread. A curious stance to take.

Could a cigarette fall into the mask stowage box and rest against the oxygen tube thus creating a fire? Yes, it could. The entire and complete elimination of this risk is simply solved by forbidding the pilots from smoking, which is already forbidden to the entire cabin crew and passengers. What’s the big deal? Who is harmed by not allowing pilots to smoke?

I don’t particularly like cigarettes, but I love tobacco and I absolutely hate the moral panic over it.

The pilots.
