      Actually, most planes from that era circulated air front to rear and smoking was always the rear section, and the entire cabin’s air was renovated every 1-3 minutes, so unless you were seated in the row immediately before smoking, you didn’t get smoke.

        I hear you, but for some reason I don’t believe you. I grew up in the 80s and never experienced cigs on a plane, but I have a feeling the smoke smell spread further than the seated row before smoking.

          My first flight that i was ever on was pretty much the last one that still had smokers on them, and the airplane definitely snelled like smoke. I remember my second flight, some guy lit up a cigarette and they explained him that smoking isn’t allowed anymore, and people were like: i fon’t care, let him smoke and shit. Insanity.
