The cost of a cigarette
A businesswoman’s desperate need for a cigarette on an
8-hour flight from American Airlines ________ in her being
arrested and handcuffed, after she was found lighting up in the
toilet of a Boeing 747, not once but twice. She ___________
because she _______ violent when the plane landed in England,
where the police subsequently arrested and handcuffed her. Joan
Norrish, aged 33, yesterday ________ the first person to be
prosecuted under new laws for smoking on board a plane, when
she was fined £440 at Uxbridge magistrates’ court.
