Why is smoking forbidden on the plane?

When flying, there are generally some rules, including no smoking. I believe many people know it, but strangely, there is a small ashtray on the bathroom door on the plane. Why? Why is smoking forbidden on the plane? The following small series will bring an introduction.

Smoking is prohibited on the plane. Why is there an ashtray?

As we all know, according to the law, smoking is forbidden on the plane. However, some passengers will notice that there is a small ashtray on the door of the plane bathroom. Why is there an ashtray installed in the bathroom of the plane when the slogan "No Smoking" is written?

Relevant experts said that just in case, it is impossible to sail without an ashtray.

If someone really goes to the toilet to smoke regardless of the punishment they will face, then there is at least one place to put cigarette butts. That doesn't mean you can smoke. If a passenger violates the smoking ban, he will still be punished. In the past, there were relevant regulations in international civil aviation. No matter whether smoking is allowed on the plane, the ashtray must be set in a conspicuous position, otherwise no airworthiness certificate will be issued.

In order to avoid this risk, ashtray equipment is still kept on every plane. However, for many passengers, smoking while flying is a very dangerous thing, whether in the cabin or in the bathroom. In severe cases, it may endanger the safety of yourself and others. So when flying, you must avoid smoking, a dangerous behavior.

Why is smoking forbidden on the plane?

Generally speaking, it is difficult to smoke on the plane first, because all the measures will be put in place during the security check, and people are not allowed to light cigarettes with ignition tools, such as matchboxes or lighters, and they can't smoke without lighters, so many passengers will not have the problem of smoking on the plane. However, if some passengers happen to avoid the security check and carry lighters with them, they will take the opportunity to go to the toilet to smoke when the group members are not paying attention.

The reason why the management of smoking on the plane is so strict is that the air circulation on the plane is a closed environment now, and there is no other equipment for making oxygen on the plane, so the air is naturally limited. If you smoke in this closed environment, it will obviously cause discomfort to other passengers. Most importantly, if this kind of cigarette comes to the pilot's cab, it is likely to affect his nerve sensitivity, which may lead to problems when the pilot operates the aircraft equipment, resulting in the whole situation.
