Can you smoke in a airplane?

Yes - there's no danger in smoking on board an airplane, passengers in the early days of commercial aviation were allowed to smoke. The disadvantage being that some air is recirculated, and those non-smoking passengers would be exposed to second-hand smoke. Today that would be totally unacceptable and thus, smoking is prohibited on board aircraft.

What was the order of gender and families to go on life boats from titanic?

The 1st people to board the lifeboats on the Titanic were the first class women and children. The 3rd class passengers were actually locked in the hull of the ship as shown in the movie. The actual order of the captain was women and children first but this was misinterpreted as women and children so most crew did not let men board. Most loss of life was of men, 3rd class passengers 2nd class passengers and then 1st class passengers. in modern times this would never happen it would be every man for himself. A good thing?
