Smoking on this flight is strictly forbidden. A smoke detector has been fitted in the bathroom.
Does this actually affect anyone in the modern world? Nicotine patches and gum is pretty much OTC in 1st world countries. I don't even smoke but know that, the only people I ever see having severe issues are Chang from China or Rajeet from India.
>we'd like to remind you that this is a non smoking flight
oh thanks for letting me know, wouldn't want to get it mixed up with all the smoking flights that exist in 2023
>oh thanks for letting me know, wouldn't want to get it mixed up with all the smoking flights that exist in 2023
Last smoked on a plane in 1995, IIRC.
I am old and was stupid enough to smoke a lot once upon a time, and man were smoking flights disgusting. I had clearly destroyed my sense of smell, because I never noticed the stink at the time. But having set foot in smokers’ homes a few years after I finally quit, I don’t know how non-smoking passengers kept from barfing.
And I remember that on some of the Asian airlines they used to offer nicotine patches or gum in the late 90s and early aughts.
Never noticed a lot of Indian smokers, but the Chinese (and Viets, and to a lesser extent Japanese) still haven’t quit. I vividly remember deplaning in Taipei and watching 70% of the male (ethnic) Chinese passengers lighting up on the damned gangway before they’d even made it into the terminal. And the PRC is the only place I’ve ever seen someone smoke in an elevator.
Only in the last five or six years have I noticed that the no-smoking-you-idiots reminders have all been amended to say AND NO YOU CAN‘T VAPE EITHER STUPID. There was a moment not that many years back when people thought vaping on planes was fine, evidently, although I never saw anyone do it myself.
Vapor doesn’t necessarily set off a smoke alarm unless you blow directly into it, however, assuming you don’t have one of the stupid models designed to generate the thickest clouds of polyethylene possible rather than serving as a simple nicotine inhaler. That said, whoever reads this and decides to puff a load of strawberry gummi bear flavored fog into a JetBlue toilet as a result of reading this and proves me wrong probably deserves to get arrested.
Smoking sucks. Vaping sucks and is for nerds.
>I don’t know how non-smoking passengers kept from barfing.
I remember certain flights in the 80s when I was a kid being pretty awful. Anywhere that wasn't one of the coastal states would have the majority of people onboard smoking.
i've unironically smoked on a plane in north korea. i think koryo is the only airline where you can now.
North Korea is a smoker's paradise in general.
>smoking allowed near anywhere
>cigarettes on sale everywhere
>every male smokes or pretends to smoke
I assume North Korean cigarettes are mostly disgusting, though, aren’t they? Cheap Chinese, Taiwanese, and even South Korean smokes are all quite foul, although China has of course got plenty of premium brands that are very palatable. I was pleasantly surprised by Vietnamese cigarettes in general, and VN’s another smoker-friendly place for the most part.
Everyone should still quit, though. Makes you a stinky junkie and causes grievous bodily harm.
I'm not a smoker but people told me that their higher end cigarettes aren't bad, with 7.27 brand cigarettes fetching higher prices than foreign imports.
That's why you bring Western cigarettes with you when you visit North Korea. They love a good Marlboro or whatever. I never even smoked, but I still have cigarettes on me whenever I travel outside of the usual Western places, cause they are appreciated. Less of a trouble for them compared to eg. money.
>implying western tobacco companies aren't global
fucking brainlet
Do smokers actually lack this much self-control? I used to be a smoker myself, and it would take me 2-4 weeks to finish a pack, and I could go entire days without a cigarette, never mind a few hours. I even quit by accident; I just got too lazy to buy cigarettes and haven't smoked since.
Sit next to some people from India or China in economy class. I shit you not they will act like they can by asking you if "smoke okay? yes? Only 1 sirs"
You weren't a typical smoker.
a lot of smokers start tapping and shaking after about 5 hours
thats just based
>Do smokers actually lack this much self-control?
Yes, it is an addiction with few to none short terms effects. It's almost as addictive as cocaine but legal, easier to get and not much frowned upon (although nowadays weed seems to be more tolerated by young city people than cigarettes).
It's hard to stay for more than a few hours without smoking. Specially if you drink alcohol and/or coffee.
I've never used nicotine patches for a flight. But I'm thinking of getting some when I travel to Asia. It's already hard to stay 11-12 hours in a flight without smoking (how long takes from Brazil to Europe). 20+ hours must be really hard. Specially when you get a layover in an airport without a smoker room. You do really get more reactive, angry, sweaty, shaky when you stay hours without smoking.
t. 1 pack a day smoker (up to 3 packs when heavy drinking all day with friends)
>I've never used nicotine patches for a flight. But I'm thinking of getting some when I travel to Asia
The gum or inhaler are better for this purpose imo, the patch does give a steady state of nicotine, but for me at least the brain still wants to do something smoking related. the gum and inhaler give that spike of nicotine like smoking would, after the nicotine levels have dropped, more like actual smoking.
t. former smoker, quit cold turkey
I usually smoke around 10 to 15 rollies at home because tobacco is expensive here. When traveling I smoke as much as two packs a day, especially if smoking laws are relaxed, tobacco is cheap and non cucked (namely no harmful and useless fire safe chemicals) cigarettes are available. However I never had any problems abstaining from smoking in spaces where it's prohibited.
>2 to 4 weeks to finish a pack
How can you possibly call yourself a smoker?
I smoked 12 cigs a day and that's not even heavy
By doctors standards it is a lot
>I used to be a smoker myself
>it would take me 2-4 weeks to finish a pack
Bitch please, it's like calling yourself an alcoholic because you drink a glass of beer once a month.
I smoked one or more packs a day, basically one cig an hour. It's hard to restrain yourself at that point. For example, on a 7 hours flight, you're getting zero cigs instead of the usual 7.
I mean, obviously, you have to get by, but it gets very uncomfortable after 3-4 hours without any nicotine.
>NOOOOO !!
>What do you mean I can’t suck on my tar stick ???
Ever hear of a nicotine patch
there are nicotine soaked toothpicks now
In a pinch I can go a full day without smoking. It's not that much of an inconvenience. Then again I've never flown for more than 5 hours or so.
Well I heared of 2 ways to smoke on the plane which apparently work:
Vape under your jacket, hold it longer in lungs to disolve a bit.
Or go to toilet with a towel. Then covered with the towel over the lavatory while constantly rinsing it smoke a real cig. Not sure this alwys works.
It's fine I just use a couple of patches, no fucks given.
I smoke a pack a day (one per hourfag) and i just bring nicotine gum. Even on a long flight or bud ride up to 16 hours i usually at most chew one piece. Usually just having it available is enough
Vaping is a thing
Which is why they changed all the announcements a few years ago to forbid that, too, as noted here
I've vaped in airplane toilets a few times with no issue. I had a cheapo pen though, one of those ones that doesn't give off very much visible vapor; that combined with holding it in as much as possible before exhailing seems to work well.
Yes, as
noted, it won’t set off the alarm if you’re not spewing huge dense clouds and exhaling through a tissue or t-shirt.
Someone is absolutely going to set off an alarm eventually, though.
i smoke and i have literally never had a single withdrawal symptom from going prolonged periods without nicotine. physiological nicotine addiction isn't even fucking real, it's all in your head.
I will take smokers over fatties.
ill reply to your shitty bait. It's called xyn or snus you massive gay and in case you're wondering, yes, I do throw my old wet with spit ones in the seat back pocket where you store your iPad you bitch.
okay
great travel thread. no notes.
