The smoking ban came into force in the UK in July 2007 making it illegal to smoke in all enclosed public places.

Yet it was back in the 1980’s that U.S. airlines made it illegal to smoke on board and in 1988 other airlines followed suite, banning smoking on any domestic flight under six hours in duration according to CNN.

Since 2000, the no smoking rule has been internationally adopted.

Today it is still illegal to smoke on any flight of any duration with countless signs and warning informing this to passengers.
