Title: So, no more lighters on airplanes?!
Post by Kris_in_SJ on Apr 20^th, 2005, 8:15pm

Does this mean that airports are now going to have designated cigarette lighter people waiting outside the terminals? For a dollar tip, you can get someone to light your cig when you have a 2-3 hour layover at O'Hare or Detroit Metro?

Lighters are OK in the terminal but no lighters on the planes.
You can take 4 books of "safety" matches on the plane but none of the "strike anywhere" matches.

Who makes up these stupid rules? [smiley=huh.gif]

So I guess taking my Hibachi on the next flight is out of the question.

Your Hibachi is fine, you just won't be able to light it...

I guess we just take some extra $$$$ and BUY lighters for every layover.... Geezzz!

I say it's a good time to open a Kiosk close to where incoming flights arrive at an airport near you and sell Bic lighters for about 5 bucks apiece ;)

I had recently started to think in terms of a trip to the States, but what with the anti-smoking obsession there, and rules like this, plus the silly visa and biometric passport complications, there is absolutely no way I shall ever bother now.

Strangely, I don't think it'll put the terrorists off, just the tourists. Ah to be a trusted and dependable ally.... :(

s'funny really. Those are actually EXACTLY the reasons why I feel quite happy about going! I wish we had a bit more of it going on here and then maybe I'd feel safer in my own country. :-/ When you hear of some of the things that have gone on at Gatwick and Heathrow it makes your hair curl.
