The practice of labelling non-smoking compartments originated in Great Britain on the South Eastern & Chatham Railway, which made the innovation on March 1, 1920. Compartments so labelled had been a familiar feature on Continental railways for many years before that time.
A recent public-opinion poll in local trains to and from representative large cities showed 52 per cent of passengers to prefer travel in non-smoking and 38 per cent in smoking accommodation, whilst 10 per cent expressed indifference. The percentage varied considerably according to the region; in the Karlsruhe area 60 per cent preferred non-smoking accommodation and only 27 per cent preferred to smoke.
It amused me, by the way, when I was told on the Jacobite steam service in Scotland that "this is a non-smoking train". I was looking up at the sky and saw a quarter-mile-long duvet of steam and smoke that the locomotive had laid there.
gloss: Using no tobacco products.

Regular exercise, a healthy diet, moderation of alcohol use, non-smoking, and annual checkups can all reduce the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

To operate the 100-watter for 1,000 hours in a community where electricity costs 4 cents a kilowatt hour would cost $4.00. The cost of operating the 2 60-watters would be $5.00, while the cost of operating the 6 25-watters would be $6.00.

While Angus also often records through the 100-watters, he has been known to use any of a range of several JTM45s, a JTM50, and a later JMP50 in the studio (the former with KT66s, the latter two amps with EL34s).
