It always used to make me smile back when smoking was allowed in the cabin.
" Smoking or non smoking sir ?"
" Non smoking please"
.....and I get put in the seat immediately behind the smoking section !! As if the smoke magically stops at that point. I should add that I was a smoker myself at the time but refused to pollute a confined atmosphere.

But seriously, how could a non smoking pilot be worried by someone smoking in the cockpit, when the real health issue is the amount of radiation charge he receives monthly, spending so many hours in a cockpit with no known effective protection against Gamma rays and others????
Someone please explain how smoking in a cockpit could be of concerned??

Smoking on the flight deck can cause a lot of problems as well. My grandfather who flew the 757 and the A300 for Eastern told me about how the switches would be covered in a green slime from all the tobacco smoke, and how the AC system was all messed up too. After Eastern banned smoking in the cockpit there were a lot less problems with the switches.

In the days that smoking was allowed in Qantas aircraft it caused major problems with the air conditioning filters and especially the outflow valve. Unscheduled maintenance of the outflow valves has decreased significantly with the notable tar stains gone.

Originally posted by MCMBTW, speaking to many of the old crew who did have smoking on the flight deck, most believe the ventilation system certainly was no-where near adequate to remove the smell, and you used to come off the flight stinking of smoke.

No smoking on any aircraft in Australia, including on the flight deck.

Most airlines these days say no smoking on flight deck (although of course there are a few that still do)

Originally posted by MaxPowerThat's what I thought. What captain would allow smoking in the flightdeck anyway? Unless you are in Russia or in a country with I don't give a shit attitude, However even if there is ventilation in the cockpit, I wouldn't want to work on a stinky cockpit. (Not saying that I'll ever gonna fly anyway) lol
