Do you remember the last time you were asked at the airport ticket counter "Do you want smoking, or non smoking?" when purchasing a ticket...or are you too young to remember that?

Last time I heard that was 1994 flying from Heathrow to SFO. By that time there was no smoking on any domestic flights, but they were still available on international flights.

The last time I flew was the last time I heard that. That should give some indication of what a in-frequent flyer I am.

I don't fly very often, but I do remember smoking/non-smoking sections in restaurants.

Yes, I remember very well. I was on a flight from L.A. to London and purposely asked for smoking (even though I didn't smoke) because I thought it would keep the noisy kids and crying babies away. WRONG. My seat was in front of two loud IRish women who chain smoked throughout the flight...traveling with their 4 children ranging from 6 mos to 6 yrs. Every cliche you ever heard of was true for this flight. Need I say more?

I remember when I was a kid going to Canada and my dad smoked on the flight. I also remember they use to let people off the plane to smoke at stop overs. They don't do that anymore.
