Why bother with that. The whole cabin was a choking cloud. And just when the right side of the plane was running low on cigarettes, the duty free carts came out and resupplied them. Worse than any bar or dance hall I ever was in.
I got stuck in the aisle seat of the last row of a DC-10 on both legs of a trip to Hawaii and back. This was back in the days when you could smoke on a plane and the area in front of the rear bathrooms was the favorite smoke hole.

Did I mention the engine in the tail was a loud SOB also?

Worst flights ever.
