Do I think it's classy? No. Do I think airlines need to play Miss Porter? No.
Whoa! I guess we both come from different worlds. Such is the beauty of dealing with someone holding different values.
As for me, I used to manage my parent's restaurant. Every time I saw someone empty their plates, you can be sure that I was pleased because that meant that the customer enjoyed our food. But everytime someone did not finish it, then I would be worrying about it as I take it as a sign of problem with the food. So, naturally, I support the "Clean Your Plate" coalition of adults.
I personally don't care what others do to their bodies; but if my friends Luke O'Plakia and his wife Spittoonia were to ask me for help in nixing the tobacco habit, I would help them in a heartbeat (I once worked as a webmaster for a site run by my alma mater used to help people in quitting smoking, so I do know how to help).
