without a smoke and reading all the posts on has just made me smoke two cigarettes. I sympathise with you I too am totally addicted to the habit and have travelled on many long flights and short all I think about is when I can have a smoke I go to the loo contemplate having just a couple of puffs but never do. At perth Airport you are not allowed to smoke in departure lounge its only a 3 1/2 hour flight to Bali from perth but when we leave on Saturday after smoking one every 10 minutes before entering No Smoking Zones I will be in the ladies at the departure lounge sitting on the loo inhaling those last precious puffs blowing out the smoke in all directions waving paper around and spraying my duty free estee lauda so as not to be detected and waiting for the all clear before leaving the cubicle. Once aboard the plane I will be the one stuffing my face with mints, toffees gulping my drinks down without a break appart from the handfulls of complimentary peanuts on landing this usually polite person will be grabbing hand luggage scrambling for the exit with no concern for elderly or children as I run down down the Aisle towards that long awaited puff. I do sympathise with you Sandra.
