Pan Am Training Video: "The Smoker" is a fantastically intriguing video from the 80s when people could still smoke on airplanes

I watched it and thought it was a simple example of how to politely and firmly deal with a customer clearly breaking the rules. Imagine my surprise when it turned out that was the “wrong” way and the video kept going. I was half expecting there to be a third example with the flight attendant begging the smoker to move, offering to let her fly the plane if she’ll only put out her cigarette, etc.
