Smoking on flights

An interesting news story that popped up on my wife's phone.

We have had flights where people have smoked quite a few times, I wonder if they realised the potential sentence - they obviously don't care about the danger.

On a flight to Vegas on a wide body aircraft with a toilet area downstairs at cargo hold level with about 6 toilets the flight crew had to post a crewmember to sit outside the toilets for the duration of the flight to try and stop the smokers.

A man who lit a cigarette in a plane’s toilet has had his jail sentence extended to nine years and six months.
