Anyone who was in the plane must know, there is a ban on smoking in the cabin. But you know, this ban appears it was not because of the health effects. But because of the carelessness of smokers that could lead to hundreds of people lost their lives.
Precisely on July 11, 1973, no major incidents, a plane flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris had to make an emergency landing after smoke emerged from the cabin. A total of 123 people were killed and 11 people survived.
Varig aircraft with flight number 820 landed a few miles at the destination. According to the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), fire emerges from the toilet behind - most likely someone was smoking there and throw cigarette still burning in the waste basket containing toilet paper.
"In just a few minutes, the entire aircraft cabin filled with smoke. And the cabin crew and passengers had trouble getting out of the emergency door. Most of the passengers were killed due to suffocation, while the other 11 - 10 of them crew members - survived," wrote the site Quora, as quoted Mirror page,
Since then, the rules about smoking, began to receive attention. Some airline concerned that many smokers do not dispose of cigarettes properly. They also often discard cigarette in the sink.

Smoke in the cabin was banned on US domestic flights in 1988. Next followed by all airlines around the world in the late 1990s. This ban continues to be delivered over and over again through the speakers and lights smoking sign.
