All 4 of the passengers were seated in the tail of the plane, the smoking section.

I believen hospitals in the US weren't required to be smoke-free until 1993. 1993.

Cigarettes make me seriously want to vomit. Even being near someone smoking is enough to set me off. However, unburnt pipe tobacco is one of the most heavenly scents in the world. There's no nostalgia attached, it's just amazing.

Fun fact: in the early days of English speaking people smoking tobacco before they called it smoking, they called it "drinking tobacco"

As a nonsmoker who went to a highschool where pretty much everybody smoked: YES every one smelled awful every day. And later in life I had a job collecting recyclables, there's nothing like the peculiar smell of wet cigarettes mixed with cheap wine.

Stale cigarette smoke and sticky floors are basically what all my favorite bars were in my early 20's. Now every single bar looks and feels like an Applebee's but with trashier people. Need that cigarette smoke stinging your eyes to wash out all the stupid poo poo bars put up on their walls.

I remember when the indoor smoking ban came in in Ireland there were dire predictions that every pub would go bankrupt overnight because drinking without smoking was literally impossible, and are you going to be the one to tell old Michael that after coming in every day for 40 years he suddenly can't smoke his pipe anymore???

It's really funny when youngsters see stuff like Wonder Woman 84 and Stranger Things and think the 80s were squeaky clean with splashes of neon. Nah man. Everything was dirty. Dirty as balls. French Quarter on Ash Wednesday morning dirty. All the time. Everyone reeked of cigarettes and Budweiser and trash was so thick in city streets it was like walking in 8" of snow, but garbage. All that 90s stuff you remember like the recycling logo and the jingle and the constant PSAs and Captain Planet and the big Earth Day celebrations were a reaction to how appallingly filthy american cities were. The 70s and 80s were just unfathomably loving gross.

The Deuce on HBO did a pretty good job of showing how filthy things were in the 70's/80's New York. I remember thinking how much of a pain it must have been to get all that garbage set up and then cleaned after every day of shooting

Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:I believen hospitals in the US weren't required to be smoke-free until 1993. My wife's grandmother was a nurse in a large hospital in the 1970's and 80's. She said she and another nurse would do rounds with their assigned doctor each morning. One nurse would carry a stack of patient charts, and the other would hold the doctor's cigarette in the hallway for him to take drags off of in between patient rooms.

Glottis posted:yeah whenever I see signs that are vehemently anti-vaping I just think that compared to actual cigarettes, it's so, so much better to be around Yeah, vaping is a much better alternative for bystanders. If vaping were just as dangerous as regular smoking to the smoker, it's still a net win because it doesn't make the area smell like an astray, linger or get in anyone's clothes. Cigarette smokers are inherently selfish people.
