<Funny that you should mention smoking on airliners. Several years ago, I read a blurb in the newspaper, which stated that in the days when smoking was commonplace on airplanes, otherwise inapparent hairline cracks in the crafts' structures would show because of nicotine staining. Now they must use other, somewhat less reliable means of detection.>

Unfortunately, they do not. Therefore, many thousands will die in otherwise preventable airline crashes due to fatigued airframes.
