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. Funny, I'm a heavy smoker by anyone's definition, live at 1300 feet, and at 8500 feet there is no effect on my vision. Once at 7500 feet at night things got a little blurry and I became concerned it might be oxygen effects, so I dropped down lower and nothing changed even after I landed, so I chalked it up to being tired that late at night. Maybe your black and white, one size fits all, blanket statements just aren't true for everyone. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

A heart attack is immediately incapacitating, and smoking dramatically increases the likelihood of a heart attack (something that the FAA ignores). Smoking increase the likelihood of a heart attack after decades of smoking, by which time such effects will show up on the medical. Decades is hardly "immediately". -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

No ****, when was the last time you flew a cabin load of heavy smokers to altitude? When's the last time you flew, Maxwell? Bertie |

"Bertie the Bunyip" wrote in message ... Well, there are a lot of private pilots operating airplanes at high altitudes these days. Leaving that aside, my intention as to highlight the damage done and how that can comprimise someone operating at or near their limit. It's something else stacked against you in a bad situation. . What do peruvian mountain dwellers have to do with private pilots? Point missed completely. Yes, I know. Read it again. You're a dumb ass, and you're trolling, and doing a **** poor job of both. Nope. I was offering my POV based on knowledge and some personal experience. But I could troll you if you like. Bertie |

: Bertie the Bunyip wrote: wrote: 1) No one becomes "immediately incapacitated", whatever that means, from smoking. Depends on what you mean by that. Smoking will exacerbate any situation where breathing sails close to the edge, like a sudden loss of pressurisation or if the individual has been comprimised and breathing becomes difficult. Like someone who has been badly inured and is comatose. All other factors being equal, if the individual has been pushed to the edge in a situation like this, a history of smoking will push them over it. ALERT THE PRESS! THE END OF THE WORLD IS NEAR! BERTIE HAS WRITTEN IN SUPPORT OF A STATEMENT MADE BY MXSMANIC!!!!! Nope. Don't give a **** what he says and what I said is quite different to what he said in any case. All of the statement above is based on personal experience, wheras Anthony's **** comes from the usual sources. Ahhhh! WE ARE ALL DOOMED!!!!!! Well of course! Bertie |
