I recall a trip to Japan in the early or mid 90s where I was dumped in the smoking section by mistake. Very long flight.

The same thing happened to me on the Shinkansen. My eyes were stinging by the end of it. Thankfully they have replaced smoking cars with smoking rooms since then. The JP govt appears to be cracking down on smoking + "encouraging" free Wi-Fi everywhere in time for 2020.
