Blame the smoker, why dontcha? they bring down aeroplanes now

Medical News Today reports that in-flight smoking crisis cards are to be handed out with the cards that tell you how to deal with an aircraft emergency. They include such invaluable advice as 'taking sips of water, deep breathing and other distraction techniques and setting a quit date'.

In case this juxtaposition of smoking cessation advice and instructions about how to behave in a forced landing seems in any way melodramatic, the report points out, 'Washroom smoking is thought to have caused at least one multi-fatality airliner crash and put other flights at risk'.


Words fail me.
