Narrative:

A passenger was caught smoking in the lavatory on flight from bdl to dfw. I was in first class on final approach and received a call from the #1 flight attendant, telling me to report this to the captain. I waited until taxi-in. The captain told me to point out the passenger so he could talk to him. Upon deplaning, the captain told the man he wanted to speak with him in the galley. The passenger said 'no!' and kept on walking. The captain informed him he was going to file a report with the FAA. This is all I witnessed.
