[QUOTE]Originally posted by MPALMER: [QB] I'm a non-smoker, but don't care if others smoke so long as I don't have to breathe it. Airplanes have been non-smoking for years, so it only follows that Amtrak will join in. Years ago, the Philip Morris folks were building a custom passenger train (the Marlboro Express) that would have been sort of a "western" version of the American Orient Express. It was to be welcome to smokers and non-smokers alike. One of the difficulties they had was to build a venting system for smokers that would enable non-smokers to join them in the same car. Even with the strongest fans they still could not get the system to work that well. (The plans for the train were later dropped, though the engines were sold to a commuter agency - maybe Sounder). What it comes down to is there is no practical way to have a separate smoking section on a train (short of having their own car). [/QB][/QUOTE]
