Was smoking allowed aboard hydrogen-filled zeppelins?

score:13

Accepted answer

Smoking was allowed on the hydrogen filled zeppelin, the Hindenburg, but only in a specially made pressurized smoking room.

the smoking room was separated from the rest of the passenger section by a double-door airlock.

The smoking room was closely monitored at all times by a member of the zeppelin’s staff, and only one electric lighter was provided; no matches, lighters, or other open flames were allowed anywhere on the airship
