RYANAIR TO ALLOW PASSENGERS TO “SMOKE” ONBOARD WITH SIMILAR SMOKELESS CIGARETTES

Ryanair, the world’s favourite airline, today (20 September) announced that smokers no longer have to worry about long flights without a cigarette as it launches a new range of Smokeless Cigarettes to ensure passengers get their required nicotine “hit” without breaking the law by “lighting up” onboard their aircraft.

In a recent survey, over 24,000 Ryanair passengers said they would like to smoke during flights. However, smoking on commercial flights has been illegal since the 1990s but now, to cater to passengers’ demands, Ryanair has introduced Similar Smokeless Cigarettes which look and feel like a real cigarette and deliver a small amount of nicotine through inhalation – passengers do not light the “cigarette”. Ryanair’s new Similar Smokeless Cigarettes are available to passengers over eighteen years of age and are sold in packs of ten onboard all Ryanair flights for just £6. Similar Smokeless Cigarettes contain no toxins or chemicals and are harmless to the user and to those around them. Ryanair’s Stephen McNamara said: “Ryanair’s low fares, unrivalled punctuality, least lost bags and fewest cancellations of any major European airline deliver exactly what passengers want. Now, to help passengers who like to smoke and find it difficult to travel on an aircraft for a couple of hours without getting their nicotine hit, Ryanair has launched Similar Smokeless Cigarettes. “Ryanair’s Smokeless Cigarettes deliver a similar level of nicotine to traditional cigarettes and are available in packs of ten for just £6. As these cigarettes are smokeless they cause no discomfort to other passengers and can ensure a more enjoyable and stress free flight for all passengers, as non-smokers will no longer have to cope with moody smokers in need of nicotine.”

Smokeless Director Chris Parsons said: “Yet another first for Ryanair – now it’s also the smokers’ favourite airline.” Note This product should not be confused with the electronic cigarette which is far more expensive, needs recharging and emits a smoke-like vapour which can resemble actual cigarette smoke.

E-Cigarette Clinical Trials Clinical trials have now been carried out in New Zealand by Dr Murray Laugeson of Health New Zealand.

The test found that the E-Cigarette was: "...very safe relative to cigarettes, and also safe in absolute terms on all measurements we have applied. Using micro-electronics it vaporizes, separately for each puff, very small quantities of nicotine dissolved in propylene glycol, two small well-known molecules with excellent safety profiles, – into a fine aerosol. Each puff contains one third to one half the nicotine in a tobacco cigarette’s puff. The cartridge liquid is tobacco-free and no combustion occurs."
