Smoking with altitude

[Makaron]

I watched a program a few months back with TV Chef Heston Blumenthal and the prog was aboutthe food they serve on planes and they said that they need to ad extra salt and pepper in the recipes to make it taste better as the pressure/altitude or reduction in oxygen did something to the blood and or taste buds.

Good for airlines. They can serve terrible food, and blame it on pressure in cabin

You should see the looks you get when you light up a cigar on a plane. Miserable gits

Cigars on planes weren't that unusual once ..... http://www.cigarauctions.co.uk/punch...es-p-9271.html ..... I can remember coming back from Cyprus when the front of the plane was packed with Greek or Turkish Cypriot passengers and cabin air was almost solid smoke.

I'm sure I saw on QI once that the air quality on planes was actually better when people were allowed to smoke as the air was constantly being replaced with fresh new air, but since smoking has been banned the carriers just keep the same stale air in for the whole flight

I'm not sure how true it is (I've taken QI facts with a slight pinch of salt as I don't think you always get the full picture) but its an interesting thought that smokers used to do non-smokers a favour by smoking in a confined space with them

“At high altitudes the lower pressure lets molecules vaporise more readily, improving the smell and flavour.”

found this if this helps

Science!

Haha! I'll believe it when chica butteredballs believes it. The end.
