Britney Spears Warned by Authorities for Smoking on Flight to Los Angeles

Pop icon Britney Spears was reprimanded by authorities after smoking a cigarette and drinking vodka mid-flight on a private jet from Cabo San Lucas to Los Angeles, violating federal aviation regulations. Flight attendants urged her to extinguish the cigarette, and officials issued a warning upon landing at LAX, though she was not detained. Spears later shared a video on Instagram, explaining the unique design of the plane allowed smoking and apologized to anyone offended by her actions, noting it was her first time drinking vodka. This incident has reignited concerns about her well-being, given her history of mental health struggles and previous warnings for similar behavior. Despite the scrutiny, Spears has reclaimed her voice since the end of her conservatorship in 2021, publishing a memoir and speaking openly about her experiences. The private jet company JSX has not commented on the situation.
