Although most countries all over the world prohibit people from smoking on aircraft, including the United States and the European Union, which began to implement the ban in 1997, you can still see it in the toilet on modern aircraft

It can be seen from this short film that there are no smoking signs and words on the door of the aircraft toilet, including English and French (editor's note: English and French are the official languages of Canada), but there is an ashtray at the bottom, which can be opened with your fingers.

"Have you noticed that even new planes have ashtrays? Do you know why?"

This passage aroused the discussion of netizens. Some people think that this is because someone will violate the regulations; It is also said that the law stipulates that there should be a safe place on the plane for flight attendants to extinguish illegal cigarettes; Others said that the use of ashtrays is relatively safe, and it is easy to cause a fire if thrown into the trash can.

Kelly said that these answers are correct. She also mentioned that the plane would not be allowed to take off without an ashtray.

Forbes magazine reported that in order to avoid the danger caused by passengers smoking in the aircraft toilet, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that ashtrays be set on the aircraft.

In case the passenger violates

According to FAA regulations, the ashtray is the "minimum equipment" of the aircraft. If the ashtray of the aircraft cannot be used normally, it must be replaced within 3 days.

In 2009, a British Airways plane delayed taking off because the ashtray on the plane could not be used normally.
