The latest regulations for 2023 deal with restrictions on the carriage of tobacco products on domestic flights. According to this regulation, passengers can only carry one pack (ie 200) of cigarettes, and they must be placed in carry-on luggage, not checked luggage. In addition, e-cigarettes and other tobacco products, such as hookahs, are prohibited.
The air circulation system on the plane minimizes the risk of inhaling smoke, but lighting a cigarette in flight is illegal as not only would it violate aviation regulations, but it would also cause unnecessary inconvenience and health risks to other passengers.
In addition, many international airlines have started to implement a non-smoking policy and do not allow smoking, this is because smoking is associated with many health problems such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke shrinkage and many more.
Although many cities in China have banned smoking in public places, a large proportion of people still smoke.
The introduction of new regulations may play a role in limiting and reducing the number of smokers to some extent, so as to protect the health and comfort of other passengers.
