Circular shown on DAWN News channel:

All cabin crew members shall follow local/foreign customs and immigration laws/regulations. Crew members violating these rules and involved in smuggling/illegal carriage of mobile phones, laptops, cigarettes, currency, medicine, passport and numerous other objectionable items will be dismissed from PIA.

There's zero tolerance policy for money laundering and carriage of contraband items.

All cabin crew are hereby advised to refrain from illegal carriage of any contraband item. Any occurrence will be dealt with disciplinary action and result in dismissal from PIA service.

Strict compliance is required.

I remember in 2015 I was travelling from JFK to AUH on an Etihad configured Jet Airways flight. I was eating paan (took from jackson heights), an Indian flight attendant first apologized and then asked if he can get one or two, I gave him since I had ample.
He later shifted me on a neighbour free seat and during meals serving he was generous on serving me. He also told that it's strictly ban for them to eat these things during flights especially on Etihad configured flights but crew covers each other on long haul flights.
