Smoking In Public

Smoking is also prohibited on most airlines.
Do we really need a nervous pilot, dying for a smoke at the helm of a plane carrying hundreds of people?

Specious Ron.

Pilots are isolated from the cabin and do not infringe upon the passengers. He only has to deal with the co-pilot and they can smoke together.

I like to drink, but I don't let that interfere with my job. It is bonus for a job well done. I guess if you are so addicted to your drug that you can't focus on the job at hand, maybe you would be better off bagging groceries than being entrusted to the safety of 100's of passengers.

Please, give me a non-drug addicted pilot.


PS: as the thread runs long and you have not the time to read it all, I have already stated that bars should remain "smoking". Don't like it, but I am willing to compromise.

There is no law, this was an independent decision made by Pizza Hut. Did I miss something?

-----------------------------------------------------------
I just want to go to a restaurant to eat, not start a confrontation or bother anyone else. And I don't want to have my clothes smell like shit when I get home. I'm a pretty simple guy.

to the first part I quoted, I mentioned this was not just in response to you...

---------------------------------------------------------------

to the second part, I really can not blame ya. I am not fond of the smell anymore either.... but I still support people and establishment rights to choose.

Sorry Bassman,

I thought I removed the parts of your post that were directed elsewhere and commented on the points you directed at me.

Guess I didn't quite get it right.

Well, while nicotine is poisonous, it still has a lot of good sides too.
Hell, the only unhealthy thing about it (besides an overdose) is that one has to smoke it.
To use your &#39;work&#39; example, nicotine greatly increases the concentration.
Which, in my book, is a good thing for a pilot.

i&#39;d guess nicotine...however, heroin is probably more addictive than both of these put together...

[ang3968]

I think it depends on the person... not the substance as to how addictive something can be... and yes heroin is very addictive but in a controlled environment not as harmful as smokes or alcohol... (harmful to the persons own body that is)
