By Dad once told me that the smoking section was the right side of the plane. I think that is hilarious.

- digler999 10y agoIt's probably not reducing the overall exposure to carcinogens, but there's something to be said for not sitting right next to someone while they smoke.
- CalChris 10y agoI remember it being aft. But yeah, I absolutely choked on planes.
- aptwebapps 10y agoUsually the back third or so and on long flights it was horrible. Also, the cabin pressure in those days was thinner than it usually is now and the air dryer.
- dingaling 10y agoThe air was somewhat drier but also of higher 'quality' because less of it was recirculated; most was fresh intake from the atmosphere, heated, passed through the cabin and dumped. The introduction of widebody twins in the early 1980s coincided with increased air recirculation, in order to reduce bleed-air load on the engines, and until the 787 and A380 it was often over 60% recirculated. Ironically the elimination of smoking led to a big increase in recirculated air.
- aptwebapps 10y agoYou mean it could have been higher quality if not for all the smoking. I remember it being pretty miserable on longer flights.
- soheil 10y agoPretty sure William Shatner was about to smoke while sitting on the left.
