Britney Spears Admits to Lighting a Cigarette on a Flight, Apologizes

Britney Spears admitted to lighting a cigarette on a flight, and apologized 'to anyone I offended.'

She reportedly put it out at the request of flight attendants and authorities issued a warning to the pop star at the airport once the plane landed. That said, while it is a violation of federal aviation regulations to smoke on commercial flights, it can be permissible on private charter planes, depending on if the owner or operater permits it and that the jet complies with FAA rules regarding passenger and crew compartment interiors. Spears is gearing up for a biopic based on her memoir, The Woman in Me, with Jon M. Chu tapped to direct the Universal Pictures movie, though he told Billboard in January that he couldn’t say much yet about the film.
