The smoking policy about forbidden inside airplanes I totally agree, even considering that I´m a smoker! (not easy handle with it!) :)
I think it was a good decision, considering that the air inside the cabin is controlled, about humidity, flow, quantity, and so on; so it´s unhealthy breath in that controlled environment.
The air that we breathe inside the airplanes is coming from the engines, it´s recirculated air, so I think it´s polluted enough and we don't need anything else more to pollute it!
About alcohol, there is some companies that are controlling what you drink (alcohol); the cabin crew somehow controls it.
But I think both should be forbidden, more you have a drink more you want to smoke ... (speaking about me) :)
