When smoking was allowed in aeroplanes (the older of us remember), the air quality was better than any other environment...

Anti smoking campaigners tried to get smoking banned, complaining that cabin staff shouldn't have to breathe in second hand smoke...

The bans originally started on flights of less than two hours but were then extended to all flights...

As a result of the ban, airlines didn't need to change the air in the cabin every minute or so and reduced it dramatically...

Cabin air quality has actually reduced as a result and the cases of deep vein thrombosis have goon through the roof...

Which reminds me of a story about DDT....


Tell us the story about DDT please Grump ..... :roll: ........ :arrow:


You don't really want to know do you...? :evil:

Anyway…

The same people that claim that second hand smoke is carcinogenic claimed that DDT is carcinogenic to humans and managed to get it banned…

The direct result of that ban is that fifty million people – most of them children – have died needlessly of malaria…

By 2005, after decades of overwhelming evidence showing that DDT did not cause cancer the WHO reversed its opposition and promoted its use in the third world.

No seriously. I've probably said this a million times (I am still quoted by close friends, thankfully) .... but owing to my Ministry of Agriculture insider info ... I would firmly advise that you top and tail your carrots and discard accordingly ... due to the overwhelming build-up of toxic by-products!
