I have been a non-smoker for 40 years. The falacy in your supposed argument for "freedom of choice" is that until about 10 years ago I had no freedom of choice.

Please name 4 or 5 first-class restaurants in NYC or anywhere else which were non-smoking in 1980 or even 1985. What percentage of the total were they?

I really don't understand your definition of freedom of choice. None of us are entitled to any restaurants. Period. It is only when someone decides to create a restaurant that we have one. And at that point, none are entitled admission should the owner desire you excluded. If you own a seafood restaurant and I'm allergic to shellfish, the choice I have is whether or not to enter your establishment, not what you can serve while I'm there.

Would you believe, to this day, I can't find an auto dealership selling S class Mercedes Benzs for $5.00? Talk about no choice! What's up with that? Or more to the point, what's up with you?

Where were the non-smoking flights before the government forced them?

I don't know the year, but I'm sure Delta made all its flights non-smoking before regulations forced them to.
