I was just talking to my husband about this the other day. We liked the noise the metal made when you opened/closed it, but then realized it's a good thing they don't exist now because our kids would drive us nuts playing with them the way we did with our parents.
 
I remember smoking on airplanes. The ashtrays were built in to the arm rests. You couldn't smoke during take off and landing, but were good to go for the rest of the flight.

Every airplane bathroom I've used still seems to have some kind of an ashtray. Explain that one.

My guess would be that those aircraft were placed in to service prior to the smoking ban. But, you would have to have only flown on old aircraft for that to be true, I have no explanation. I've never really payed attention to the lavatories much. I'll have to inspect on every flight from now on.

Legally there must be somewhere safe built into the airplane to dispose of cigarettes safely if someone does light up. The toilet door is the preferred place apparently.
