Will cigarette smoke have any negative impact on my tank?

lol- like a smoking section means that nobody in restaurant will be affected.

Imagine airplanes

I’ll set aside my academic hat because this isn’t my field, and instead call on personal experience. I grew up in a mobile home with chain smokers. I can tell you that smoke permeates and discolors everything. Smoke may not contain ich but it sure contains ick.

Yeah, i experienced that. At the time when i smoked i was on a 8 hour flight. Needless to say i was in the smokers section. One guy must have been so nervous he was chain smoking and was puffing on that cigarette nonstop. Try sleeping while hearing and smelling that. It was disgusting, and i smoked.
Never again!

FYi, the main reason airlines discontinued smoking was so they could do less cabin air exchanges per hour. It costs fuel to heat the air from the outside.
So less cabin air exchanges, $$ saved.

While I don't argue that is an expense, the main reason is PUBLIC perception and Customer Satisfaction.

Federal law prohibits it, an easy sell due to expense of reconditioning the air. Anything the airlines do is tough to attribute to customer satisfaction.

The first smoking-related accident happened on 6 August 1937, when an international Aeroflot flight from Moscow to Prague crashed near Herina after a passenger lit a cigarette in the toilet, causing accumulated avgas fumes to ignite. All six occupants (three crew, three passengers) were killed.

We will have to agree to DISAGREE unless you can show stats to support anti-customer satisfaction in regards to smoking while flying.

More likely that it alleviated the likelihood of them being held liable by attendants or pilots who contracted lung cancer etc.
