It started with requests for only a smoking section in the rear of the plane but ended with a total ban on smoking.
I'm sure if the airlines had solved the problem of recycling the air in the plane to all passengers that a smoking ban could have been avoided. I imagine it was just too expensive. I think the airlines wanted the ban to keep the plane cleaner and without burn holes, only they didn't want to be the ones to impose it.

The analogy to tobacco is valid. With every reported shooting which is followed by the same do-nothing response from the NRA a ban becomes closer.

dave, you may have given me a new slant.

Think atty gen. would help me sue the airlines for letting me smoke on the plane years ago and thereby contributing to giving me emphysema ? Since I cannot possibly be responsible myself, it must be at least partly them.
