People are a lot better about sunscreen too (and it's a lot more available). As a kid in the 80s we'd run around without even a thought to sun exposure, or go to the pool for hours, and come back red as lobsters; nobody thought anything of it.

Clearly my mom was in tune to updated health advice. We had to wear sunscreen and seatbelts in the 80s and weren't allowed to play football (due to head-injury concerns) in the 90s. If it were just fad following, I assume there would be things that people think are silly now that we were forced to do for safety, but nothing's coming to mind...
