Man Convicted for Smoking in Aircraft Restroom in Cayman Islands
A man is convicted in the Cayman Islands for smoking in an airplane lavatory, fined $1,200.

Recently, according to Cayman Marl Road, a media outlet in the Cayman Islands, a man was convicted by the UK Cayman Islands Customs and Border Control (CBC) for smoking in the restroom of a flight entering the Cayman Islands.

 

Passenger Brendan Joseph Fallon admitted his reckless and negligent behavior before Judge Vanessa Allard and was fined 1000 Cayman Islands dollars (approximately $1200 USD). According to reports, Fallon, a military veteran, informed the judge that he is currently experiencing financial difficulties.

 

According to regulations from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States, passengers are prohibited from smoking or using e-cigarettes on board an aircraft. This behavior is not only dangerous, but also against federal law. In the United States, passengers who violate federal e-cigarette regulations may face fines of up to $1,771.

 

A spokesperson from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) revealed last year that e-cigarettes are the primary cause of in-flight smoke, fire, or extreme heat incidents for the year 2022.
