While you might notice ashtrays and no-smoking signs still present on aircraft, these are there for safety reasons and to comply with aviation safety standards. The presence of ashtrays is a precautionary measure in case someone disregards the no-smoking policy, providing a safe place to dispose of the cigarette.
