Even though he quit for 2 decades, his days of heavy smoking still got him in the end. Lung cancer got him in his 60s.

I had just gotten fired from a job, was in the elevator going up to a Gym with my sister in NYC, and Peter Jennings got in, I was telling my sister my tale of woe, and Jennings turns to me and says, "don't worry about it, I've gotten fired from plenty of jobs". rip pete.

just about as many people smoked as didn’t, back in the day. if you didn’t smoke, you still had ashtrays in the house, for when people came to visit.

when they first tried to control smoking on planes, it wasn’t “no smoking at all” it was “let’s at least have a non-smoking section”–it was seen as absurd that there even be a corner of the plane where one couldn’t smoke.

I’ve read that aircraft mechanics were sad when smoking stopped because the nicotine smears on the aircraft were such a good visual clue of where air was leaking and it made theirs jobs a lot easier.

But is it as disgusting as rapid depressurization?

False binary, though? It’s not have smoking or have rapid depressurization…

Is that why Boeing’s quality went downhill?

I was on a plane in the very early 90’s, and I remember being about 10 years old and the second the ‘smoking okay’ sign came on, a WALL of smoke rolled back through the curtains that separated the sections.

yea, the “non-smoking” bit was a complete joke, especially on planes. restaurants were slightly better, but the smoke still went everywhere

they had to start somewhere though, and as powerful as big tobacco was at the time, it’s kind of a miracle that they got anything changed at all
