One reason why many people choose to travel long hours by plane is because smoking is not allowed. Smokers, however, are forced to endure a few hours away from their favorite habit.
A TikToker has answered a crucial question that has long bothered most travelers: If smoking is banned, why do ashtrays exist?
Taking the Tiktok, Canadian flight attendant Kaylee shed light on the issue, telling her followers why ashtrays still exist despite the fact that smoking on planes is illegal around the world.
Known as @flyingkaylee on the social media app, Kaylee often posts eye-opening videos that reveal secrets behind a flight attendant's job.
The video shows Kaylee filming the interior of a new aircraft and showing her followers an ashtray in the lavatory door, which she opens with her finger before teasing viewers with the answer.
The post has since garnered more than 100,000 views and many replies, with other TikTok users flocking to the comments to try to guess why the new planes still have ashtrays installed.
One of them said: "I don't know. Because people still want to break the rules. As silly as that sounds. Some people still don't understand that you CAN'T SMOKE IN AIRCRAFT."
[/P]Another said: "You shouldn't do that. It is required by law to have a safe place for the flight crew to put illegal cigarettes."
And, as it turns out, those answers fell on deaf ears as Kaylee went to the comments to approve the answers to her question about why ashtrays are still a feature of new planes.
Indeed, it is still a requirement of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that they be installed, Forbes reports.
In the past, flights have even been delayed because this "vital" piece of equipment was not present.
