Your knowledge of this subject is so seriously limited that you really need to drop out of the discussion before you make yourself look really stupid. The people of Peru who live at high altitudes have become acclimated to the altitude and are not as subject to altitude sickness as those who live at lower altitudes. Beyond a certain altitude, human beings can never adapt fully to the thinner air. Smoking has the direct effect of diminishing the ability of the lungs to absorb oxygen which becomes especially critical at higher altitudes. Yes. Smokers who are not acclimated to the altitude and who take off from lower altitudes and asscend to altitude can easily become oxygen starved resulting in numerous possible medical problems. Yes. |

5) FAA minimums on Ox usage are conservative enough to acomodate even heavy smokers. 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? |

Beyond a certain altitude, human beings can never adapt fully to the thinner air. And Mr. State the Bleeding Obvious chimes in with an irrelevancy. And what would that altitude be? -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
