I once drunkenly smoked in my college towns McDonald's upstairs area populated exclusively by wasted students and nobody gave a gently caress. It felt kinda cool at the time.

It occurred to me recently that while my kids will never hear the question “smoking or non?” when being seated at a restaurant, the question must have been hella progressive at the time. I should see if there are contemporary opinion pieces lamenting the need for spaces free* of totally fine cigarette smoke. I remember being a new smoker just as smoking in businesses was being phased out. We went to a Waffle House in Indiana on the last day before they banned smoking there just to experience the novelty of eating and lighting up. You could smoke in bars that were willing to eat the fine, but that didn’t last either.

People sometimes forget that there was time where you could smoke almost anywhere, except maybe the doctor's office and schools. You could smoke in grocery stores, malls, restaurants, cars and for a while even movie theaters. You could have two parents smoking in a car with the window closed and any complaints from the kids was merely noise. Same goes for get-togethers at somebody's house. The whole house would fill with smoke so thick it would make your eyes water but nothing could or would be done about it.

You can scratch "schools" off the list! As an Elder Goon  , I can tell you that my high school had a designated smoking area. It was in a courtyard fully surrounded by classrooms, and if you were legally old enough to buy tobacco (16 in VA at the time), you could head out for a smoke with your pals.

MrUnderbridge posted:You can scratch "schools" off the list! We had the same thing back in the 90's, a designated set of smoking exits where we could smoke. We had to smoke off school property in junior high though but at one school I went to it was just across the street where everyone would smoke. Speaking of 16 being the smoking age, when I was 15 the smoking age got raised to 18 a month before I turned 16. It was a real piss off.

Decent chairs are designed in a way that there's some physical part between you and the cylinder and cheap chairs... are not. I have an X-Chair X1 that work bought me and it's great except I want the backrest to be able to adjust up one more tick. There's four levels, and five would be perfect. Any suggestions for a nice adjustable mesh-style chair with lumbar support that can support people taller than like 5'9"?

I did a brief work experience thing at a company in Japan in 2002, and they had a smoking table. In the open plan office. Just a table where you went to smoke, and this was fine and definitely helping.

We used to take those ashtrays for home use. Having grown up in Virginia, I never thought they would ban smoking entirely in restaurants and bars, but they did about 15 years ago. The pool hall I frequented built a glass-enclosed smoking room right in the middle of the place. Later they took the thing down and moved it to the front of the place at one of the exits and that became the non-smoking section and you could smoke in the rest of the pool hall. There were a few places that tried to get tricky like that but I imagine that's kind of died down now. People seem to feel free to vape pretty much everywhere now and I think a lot fewer people are taking up smoking and instead doing that but that's anecdotal. The last office I worked at that had indoor smoking was the NRA HQ. I temped there for a week or so in probably the 90s and there was a smoking lounge that looked like it used to be a kitchen/break-room. It was small and quite packed a lot of the time.

What kind of bugs me is that now that smoking isn't as prevalent, the anti-smoking groups feel the need to justify their existence through framing vaping as being exactly like smoking and thus lobbying for another regressive tax to fund their operation.
