Man Smokes on Airplane, Falls Asleep With Lit Cigarette

If you’ve ever flown on a plane, you’d know that federal law prohibits smoking or vaping on the aircraft, including in the bathroom. Oxygen on a plane is limited and sparks can cause safety concerns, too.

However, people don’t always follow rules or they apparently forget. “My guy forgot he was on a plane,” TikTok account @americancult wrote on a video. The page shows random viral videos, including ones that are meant to undermine Americans.

In one video, we “meet” a man who shockingly lights a cigarette right in coach! Read on for the truly jaw-dropping details of a moment we are very happy we weren’t there to witness in person.

“What would you have done if you seen this?” the caption on the viral TikTok asks. In the video, a man is sitting in his seat on a plane and pulls out cigarettes and a lighter. He lights the cigarette before taking a drag.

From there, he proceeds to get himself comfortable in his seat, closing his eyes. As he sits with the cigarette in his hand, he appears to doze off while onlookers get concerned.

A man beside him crosses his arms and looks around, presumably to see if anyone else is noticing the cigarette smoker. Then, the man seems frazzled before calling for a flight attendant’s assistance.

When the flight attendant arrives, the man points over to the smoker. The attendant wakes him up and the smoker seems pretty confused about what’s going on, considering he drops the cigarette to the ground and puts his hands on his face.
