The FAA banned smoking on all domestic flights in 1990, but that did not stop some entrepreneurs. Twice in 1993 and in 2006, wealthy smoking enthusiasts tried to establish airlines to circumvent the rules using legal loopholes. Both of them, "Smokers Airways" & "SmintAir" (Smokers International Airlines) failed to raise enough capital to purchase an airplane and investors abandoned both projects.
