Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

To answer your edit, because second hand drinking isn't a thing

Isn't it? Considering the number of people who get drunk and belligerent on planes and end up assaulting people...

99% of people who order alcohol on a flight don't get belligerent. But every smoker disturbs people around them.

However it is unfortunately very difficult to tell who will get belligerent before serving them and there is not much in the way of discipline afterwards. Although to be fair the people who cause the most disturbance will probably be loud and annoying even if they don't have anything to drink.

The probability remains much lower than getting the smoke from your neighboring smoker.
