That phrase struck me with annoyance too. Health nuts? There are quite a few of us who don't want to be exposed to second hand smoke for many good reasons, and certainly not while aboard a plane, in small quarters, where we can't get away from the smoke. I grew up abused by parents who gave me lashes for speaking out against being forced to be exposed to my father's second hand smoke as a child. While I think that lashing is harsh for that man who smoked aboard the craft, if it was the understood law of his land, then he knew the risks and was a selfish fool. I believe that smokers have the right to smoke, but not where others who do not want to be exposed to it are trying to breathe.
