Can I smoke by plane?

No smoking on the plane.

Smoking used to be allowed on the plane, but because smoking caused a tragic plane accident, representatives of 153 member States of ICAO met in 1992 and decided that airlines of all countries must ban passengers from smoking on international flights before July 1, 1996. China also began to ban smoking on international flights on July 1, 1993, which was the first to ban smoking on airplanes.

Second, the ashtray on the plane

It belongs to a preventive device. There are clear regulations in civil aviation regulations at home and abroad: no matter whether smoking is allowed in any area of the plane, the entrance of each toilet must be equipped with an ashtray. And there must be prominent slogans such as "No Smoking" or "No Smoking in the Toilet" in the toilet.

The ashtray on the plane is to prevent some stubborn smokers from hiding, secretly smoking and throwing cigarette butts. At this time, flight attendants can use ashtrays to extinguish and store cigarette butts to avoid fire hazards.

1. China has lifted the restrictions on passengers carrying ordinary lighters on flights to the United States, but "torch lighters" are not within the scope of lifting the restrictions. Because the flame burning state of this kind of lighter is very strong, the temperature can reach 25 degrees in a short time, which poses a great threat to flight safety. Passengers carrying this kind of lighter will still not be allowed to board the plane.
