Fun fact, the air quality on aeroplanes got worse after they banned smoking, because they could cut costs by re-circulating the same air for longer.

Air isn’t recirculated on an airplane. It’s continually brought in from outside the aircraft

50% is recirculated, 50% is from the outside. Before the 80's it was 100% from the outside, though.

That statistic doesn’t mean much.
The question is how long does it take for all the air in the plane to be replaced.
