Perhaps they are conservative enough to keep smokers from dying, but not
conservative enough to shield smokers from the effects of altitude. Heavy
smokers can hardly increase in altitude at all without suffering the
effects
of altitude, beginning with vision impairment, usually.


No ****, when was the last time you flew a cabin load of heavy smokers to
altitude?
