That picture looks to be from inside a Douglas DC-2.
When I started flying commercially smoking was still allowed in flight and the seats had ashtrays in the armrests. Later in my aviation career, an older friend related how back in the day he worked at an airline and changed cabin air filters on schedule for the Boeing 727's. The tobacco tar was literally dripping off the filters when he pulled them and it was disgusting. Unfortunately, it wasn't bad enough to get him to give up the habit, and he died way too young, not far into retirement.
