Okay kiddo, so you know how smoking is bad for your health, right? Well, the people who run our skies – the ones who control planes, helicopters, and everything that flies up in the air – they want to make sure everyone stays healthy.
So, they made some rules about smoking in the sky. They call it airspace action on smoking and health. That means no one is allowed to smoke on planes, helicopter rides, or any other kind of flight. That's because smoking can make other people sick and planes and helicopters are a small space, and everyone breathes the same air.
If someone is caught smoking on a plane, they can get in trouble with the airline or the law. The reason for this is because smoking can cause problems like breathing difficulties, heart problems, and even lung cancer. It's not safe for anyone to be breathing in smoke, especially in the sky, where there's already less air than on the ground.
So, that's basically what airspace action on smoking and health is all about. It's making sure everyone stays healthy and safe while we enjoy flying around up in the air.
