I'd put this a bit differently, though with the same general idea:
- The alarm will alert flight attendants to the situation, allow them to identify the violator of the non-smoking regulation, of the potentially hazardous situation (open flame in an aircraft), and if necessary bar the person from future flights.
- The ashtray will likely prevent a lit cigarette from burning down the aircraft in flight if improperly disposed of with, say, dry paper trash.
A smouldering cigarette in a rubbish bin could imperil the entire flight, passenger manifest, and crew.
