    Smokers' International Airways

    Where There's Smoke...
    ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE SMOKERS WHO JUST CAN'T BEAR THE THOUGHT OF GOING a whole six or seven hours without a drag on that trans-Atlantic flight? Well, you can breathe easier now, because starting in March 2007, German airline Smintair (Smokers' International Airways) will take to the sky. Founded by German businessman Alexander W. Schoppman, the airline plans to fly jumbo jets with 30 first-class and 108 business-class seats equipped with TVs, DVDs -- and working ashtrays.

    Got lin...nevermind.

    Talk about some smoky planes. You could board in Europe with a great set of lungs, and depart in New York with cancer. Sounds like a winner!

    Seems like they could provide something like this rather easily. I'm thinking something like the "Cone of Silence"...

    I guess all the female flight attendants will sound like Patty & Selma from The Simpsons?
    I think over again
    My small adventures, my fears.
    The small ones that seemed so big,
    For all the vital things I had to get and to reach.

    And yet there is only one great thing, the only thing:

    To live to see the great day that dawns,
    And the light that fills the world.

    although i am a smoker, i wouldnt want to be on a plane where people smoke.
    with all that confined space, and barely any ventilation, i would want to die.
    and who wants to come off a plane smelling like an ashtray?
