I grew up when there was a smoking section on the plane (BTW, why do modern aircraft still have ashtrays? Are there any airlines that allow smoking?). I miss All in the Family. Is it even available anymore?

The ashtray is actually mandatory even in new planes per FAA rules.

Modern aircraft still have ashtrays in the washrooms because they’d much prefer that somebody choosing to sneak a smoke puts their cigarette somewhere other than the washroom trash bin where there’s a history of them starting fires.

The ashtray in the washrooms makes sense, but I was just on a newer plane with ashtrays at each passenger seat armrest. It was Saudia.
