What an interesting cultural transition to live through. Smoking was omnipresent. Already I am having to provide background to younger folks on automotive cigarette lighters and ashtrays. Along with promotional paper matchbooks.

I have memories from being a kid sitting in hospital lobbies with people around me smoking.

Honestly how did that ever even work? Ostensibly you had situations like people smoking while patients were wheeled around with oxygen? Of course back then the insulation was asbestos so maybe nobody worried about fires!

Smoking on airliners was always the craziest accommodation for mass addiction.

People were just hotter back then.

Me sitting in the train for 6 hours every adult is smoking, same for restaurants etc
