I remember the smoking/non choice not being there in many places but for the other reason: there was no non-smiling section. That was often just in fancy places!

(UK, born in 78 so remembering no further back than the mid 80s for the most part)

Of cause I meant "non smoking" not "non smiling" above. Slide keyboard and auto-carrot strike again!

In '80s UK, a "non-smiling" section would have been totally credible. The place was grim.
