I’m old enough to remember when smoking (and smoke) was everywhere, and the idea that smokers might ever be asked or made to stop was seen as absurd. Many kids (including me) got horrible bronchitis every single year and had other sorts of breathing problems all the time. Many parents (and other adults) died early.
@histoftech I still remember, as a kid, wondering how anyone expected the smoke to stay in the smoking sections when it clearly did not.
@jcmrva @histoftech I always suggested we enclose the smokers in plexiglass. So I was thrilled when I visited Japan and saw the smoker enclosures
@darwinwoodka @jcmrva @histoftech Wow, and instead of bumming a cigarette off a stranger, they could just walk into one of those and get a second hand hit off the ambient smoke!
