Ryanair to allow passengers to smoke
Airline launches Similar Smokeless Cigarettes
Smokers flying with Ryanair will no longer have to gnaw away at their fingernails or chomp their way through packets of chewing gum to quell their nicotine cravings.
Following a survey of 24,000 customers, the budget airline has announced plans to allow travellers to smoke a new range of Similar Smokeless Cigarettes on its flights. Smoking on commercial airlines has been prohibited since the 1990s, but these new smokeless cigarettes contain no toxins or chemicals and are thus harmless to the user and those around them.
Ryanair's Stephen McNamara said: "Ryanair's low fares, unrivalled punctuality, least lost bags and fewest cancellations of any major European airline deliver exactly what passengers want. Now, to help passengers who like to smoke and find it difficult to travel on an aircraft for a couple of hours without getting their nicotine hit, Ryanair has launched Similar Smokeless Cigarettes.
"Ryanair's Smokeless Cigarettes deliver a similar level of nicotine to traditional cigarettes and are available in packs of 10 for just €6. As these cigarettes are smokeless they cause no discomfort to other passengers and can ensure a more enjoyable and stress-free flight for all passengers as non-smokers will no longer have to cope with moody smokers in need of nicotine."
