      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.

          Smell yes (as pretty much any enclosed public place, office, etc. of that era). Smoke? not much.

          Source, old enough to have smoked in planes.
