How utterly brain dead can that person be. The signs, the lights, the announcements. What is wrong with this human being. Aviation has been no smoking in North America since the AIR CANADA Cincinatti accident several decades ago. There is no room for this nonsense. Fortunately someone put a end to the flammable idiot.

There is gum and nicotine patches. You don't need to smoke to get your fix.

Maybe the guy tried the patch but couldn't keep it lit.

What is wrong? Selling alcohol at an airport.
