Where There's Smoke, There's Fliers

By CHRISTOPHER JOHN FARLEY

The rear-guard rebellion of resentful smokers continues. A group of entrepreneurs based in Cocoa Beach, Florida, is planning a new airline called SMOKERS EXPRESS that will allow passengers to smoke on all its flights. In fact, Smokers Express even intends to provide free cigarettes. The founders of the airline hope to get around the Federal Aviation Administration's in-flight smoking ban by making their carrier a travel club.
