Air France - Smoking?

Does anyone know if it's true that you can still smoke on Air France?
My DH says he will only fly Air France and no other airlines in future
if he finds this to be true, as he hates flying without a smoke and
becomes incredibly difficult. I've suggested patches/gum etc but he's
not interested. I smoke too, but it doesn't bother me that you can't
smoke in planes- in fact I prefer it, I remember when I flew to
Australia and you were allowed to smoke then, and some tosser lit a
cigar up which stank out the whole plane.

Absolutely _not_ true.

When he sees the shadow on the x-ray, he'll start to take an
interest--but then it will be too late.

I find the smell of a good cigar far more tolerable than that of a
cigarette. Good cigars contain only tobacco; cigarettes contain a
constellation of chemicals that are far more irritating than the smell
of tobacco alone.

Similarly, pipes are much more tolerable to me than cigarettes, and
for the same reasons.

I don't know about flights between other destinations, but
the couple of times I flew Air France between Los Angeles
and Paris, the flights were definitely smoke free.

Really? I thought cigars had always been a "no-no" on
commercial aircraft, even when they allowed cigarettes in
the last few rows.

I used to enjoy the smell of a pipe, but NOT as "captive
audience" on an airplane! Both pipes and cigars are far too
pungent and penetrating for the non-smoker to endure on long
journeys in enclosed spaces. (I don't like cigarette smoke,
either, but it's a bit easier to ignore.)

When did it stop?

Nov. 2000. You can request nicotin gum/patches from the staff on every
AF flight.

Latakia tobacco smells the best.

They are pungent, but not nearly as irritating or migraine-producing
as cigarette odors.
