‘Where There’s
Smoke, There’s, Ire

By Abigail Van Buren

© 1979 by Chicago Tribune-N.¥. News Byrd. Inc,

DEAR ABBY: You were asked what you would do if you
were on an airplane and were forced to sit in the smoking
section because there were no more seats in no-smoking.
You said, “I'd speak to the flight attendant.”

Well, thanks a lot! I'm a flight attendant and. if the flight
is full, the most I can do is try to get someone in the no-
smoking section to voluntarily give up his seat to sit with
the smokers. You can imagine how many people go fora deal

ike that. . :

Tell your readers that the best way to circumvent that
problem is to reserve seats well in advance, When flying
standby, take the same attitude you would have at the gam-
ing tables: you pays'your money and you takes your chances.

IN THE MIDDLE IN TEXAS

DEAR IN: You are not only in the middle, yeu are in
error, Read on:

DEAR ABBY: Here's a hot flash to ALLERGIC TO
SMOKE, and to all others annoyed by smokers on airplanes,

All domestic airlines are now required by law to provide a
no-smoking seat for every passenger who wants one, even if
the entire plane has to be given over to non-smokers,

In other words, if only one person in the whole planeload.
is a non-smoker, that person's comfort and well-being must
be considered above the whims of those whe willfully pollute
the air with the stench and irritants of tobacco smoke.

Since you are more widely read than government regula-
tions, you can render another great public service by
disseminating this.information: .-« j

Fines up to $1,000 can be levied by Civil Aeronauts Board
on the basis of a single, legitimate, well.documented com-

laint. . : :
Pp Readers with such complaints should write to:

SMOKEY JOE

DEAR ABBY: With so many irate readers voicing their
“right” to breathe air unpolluted by the stench and irritants
of tobacco smoke while traveling by plane; may I have equal
time? ,

-l must travel over 100,000 miles a year on business, and I
think I'm entitled to be protected against screaming infants,
pesky toddlers and talkative seat partners who interfere
with my concentration when J’ trying to read or get some
deadline paperwork doe, “SY

‘ Talso deserve protéction from fellow travelers who drink

too much and become boisterous and downright disgusting. -

And, when flying coach, I pray that I won't be seated
three across with a fat parson who invariably crowds mo,
breathes heavily and perspires a lot.

Wouldn't life be beautiful if we could all insulate ourselves
from those things that bug us? But since we can't how about
a little patience, flexibility and tolerance?
