Which I mean does perfectly sum up the developments in America. cultural conservatism before and after 9/11. Last Man’s dad is like an activated Tim “the toolman” Taylor.

I've got this exact model at the bottom of a bin full of coax and mini-usb cables, and other obsolete electronic poo poo. Thing probably still works fine even after all these years.

Smoking in pubs/clubs was still legal here in Aus in the first half of the 2000's. There'd be a heavy haze filling the room and you'd come home with your clothes reeking of it. At least in my regional hometown, people used to drink way more and get much wilder then too. Wall-to-wall plastered patrons thu-sat nights, guaranteed brawls and people loving in dark corners of the dingy nightclubs.

Yea as an australian who turned 18 in 2003 smoking in clubs was a very formative part of my early adult years, nothing like putting your cigarette out on a super sticky carpet. The worst part was once it was banned you realized that the ciggy smoke was actually effective at hiding the massive amounts of body odour present.

The banned it in bars, resturants and clubs in Nova Scotia in the early 2000s, and at first everyone whined and sniveled it was going to destroy all the businesses, but oops, they found it increased business. Though a lot of placed were pretty loose with the rules. You'd go to a show and you'd have people lighting up on the floor holding glasses, so that was a fun time avoiding broken glass and being burned by smokes.

I used to have long hair back then, and without fail would wash my hair before heading out. By the time I got home, the stench would be locked into the hair, and I’d reek of an ashtray, Jack Daniels and a filthy 3AM souvlaki. I used to have to lather up 3-4 times to get the smell of ciggy out.

Yeah, I remember smoking in bars and poo poo. It was banned in most places in Ontario by 2004. Like, I moved to my current city in August 2004 and it was banned here, but in my home town it was allowed for a bit longer, and I remember smoking in a bar a few years later that was in a different municipality. You were still allowed to smoke on Patios up till 6-7 years ago, with some stipulations. As a smoker, it didn't bother me *that* much, having to go outside to smoke as there were a bunch of occasions where I was right hosed up and then going outside to get some actual Oxygen meant that "hey, turns out I'm not as hosed up as I thought, good, lets order another drink".

Public indoor smoking is something that kind of shocks me whenever I remember that it used to be a thing. Having to specify smoking or non-smoking at restaurants. You couldn't go to some places like bowling alleys without absolutely reeking of cigarette smoke afterward.

Likewise. It seems unreal that it used to be the norm. That you'd come home from a night out and everything you'd worn would immediately need a boil wash - even if you hadn't overdone the beer and had a technicolor yawn.

Definitely was the thing in NZ too. Your properly done up schoolboy would have a scraggly uniform shirt (optional popped collar), shorts to below the knee, either Dickies that more or less matched the school uniform colour or proper uniform shorts that were 2 sizes too big, belt end dangling at the front, skate shoes the size of boats and a wallet chain. Once my best friend had the guy behind him tie his wallet chain to his seat during an assembly. They were seats in long rows that locked together, so when he got up, he pulled the entire row of seats into the people trying to get out, and then was yanked down when they shoved the seats back.

You couldn't go to some places like bowling alleys without absolutely reeking of cigarette smoke afterward. It still is a thing in many parts of the world. On a related note, smoking in bars is banned in Korea now, but when it was legal it was normal for them to give you an ashtray with a wet paper towel in it which actually did an ok job of keeping the smoke and smell down. Is that something unique to Korea or has anyone else seen it in other countries? It's certainly the only place I've seen it, but I haven't visited that much of the world yet.

Yep. Plenty of people smoking in bars a couple of months ago when I was there and I doubt anything's changed since then. E: I should mention that there are a lot of bars and restaurants where smoking is not allowed (especially places popular with foreigners) but that's a choice of the owners, not a legal requirement. 1000 Brown M and Ms has a new favorite as of 00:53 on Aug 21, 2019 |

I grew up in California and I can't recall a time when smoking was ever allowed inside any type of business, except maybe some hotel rooms. Even though I do smoke now, the idea of smoking inside is repugnant to me. There is (was?) some loophole in the law that allowed bars to have smoking inside if they met certain criteria, but I haven't heard of any in ages. One of my friends took me to a dive that allowed smoking inside when I turned 21 and like the novelty was cool I guess, but I only had a couple drinks there and never went back. Even in the dead of winter I still would rather bundle up and go outside to smoke than light up indoors.

Adults complained about kids' sagging trousers in the early 80s. From literature it's obvious they've been doing it at least since the 1800s, probably longer. They can still be Hitlers while doing it but it's also a time-honoured tradition.

You're not supposed to do anything that makes the tobacco companies angry when they're one of the larger employers in the state so everything anti-tobacco is like 10-20 years behind the rest of the country.

The indoor ban on smoking was in 95 so depending on when you were born you either remember it as a thing or don't. Pretty much any building built before this with a receiving area or that's a warehouses will have "no smoking" signs still on the walls, but any built in the late 90s or after don't.
