Australia was one of the first countries to ban smoking on flights back in 1987, followed by the US in 1988 and Europe eventually making the change in 1997.
“We prefer that they use ashtrays to hide their cigarettes instead of causing a fire hazard by hiding it in a small corner.”The United States Federal Aviation Administration said: “[The] requirement for the presence of an ashtray on or near the lavatory door provides a convenient disposal location for cigarettes and thereby ensures that there is a place to dispose of such material in the event that the ‘no smoking’ policy is not adhered to.
In the wake of the crash, bans were gradually introduced around the world, beginning with a US ban on smoking in aircraft toilets.Australia was one of the first countries to totally outlaw smoking on all domestic flights in 1987 followed by international flights in 1996.
