Dangerous Addiction

Many smokers take up vaping, with hopes of beating addiction.  However, substituting one addiction for another may simply result in further addiction.

When a co-pilot of an Air China jet recently felt the urge to vape, all bets were off.  He tried to hide this addiction by meddling with the inside-air controls.  “Unfortunately, he hit the wrong switch,” and oxygen levels dropped.  Masks came down, and the plane plummeted to 13,000 feet.

Fortunately, the flight crew realized the error and reset controls.  Oxygen levels normalized, and the plane regained altitude.  The passengers were spared, but the pilot and crew will suffer some sorry effects of addiction.
