Frequently Frustrated Flyers Who Smoke
Bad weather, crowded airplanes and cancelled flights all add up to
stress for airline passengers. But for flyers who smoke, the aggravation is
multiplied by long periods in planes and terminals, all under "No Smoking"
conditions. While non-smokers breathe easy after a long flight, smokers sprint
for the nearest exit instead of the baggage claim.
Dr. Brad Rodu, a professor in the School of Medicine at the University of
Alabama at Birmingham, has just the ticket for frequently frustrated flyers who
can't smoke: Switch to smokeless tobacco. "Smokers face increasing periods of
forced abstinence from nicotine, especially when traveling," noted Rodu, who has
conducted successful clinical trials using smokeless tobacco as a cigarette
substitute. "Smokeless tobacco provides the nicotine kick smokers need, and
newer products can be used invisibly in any social situation. In fact, new
products are so discreet that they can be used on those airlines which
supposedly ban tobacco entirely. Unless, of course, the airlines institute mouth
exams in pursuit of political correctness."
Smokers who switch to smokeless get other advantages, including a
healthier outlook. Research conducted by Rodu, also a senior scientist in the
UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center, documents that smokeless is 98% safer than
smoking.
A recent informal survey of airports indicated that very few currently
sell smokeless products. "This will inevitably change, as more smokers recognize
the benefits of switching, temporarily or permanently, to smokeless tobacco,"
commented Rodu. In fact, the transition is occurring; according to statistics
from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as many as 2
million smokers have already switched to smokeless.
