Like a pediatrician rounding on cystic fibrosis children in the hospital and smoking at their bedside. That's what the early 1980s were like. (lemmy.world)

Oh good I'm still youngish I AM old enough that I remember being really excited when the headlines on our newspaper said smoking was banned indoors! Not even a "smoking" section in a restaurant anymore unless it was patio/outdoors maybe

I remember huge arguments about whether or not smoking was allowed during team meetings. Not in your office, that was presumed just fine.

The day they banned smoking in bars/restaurants was glorious. No more trying to decide if it was OK to wear something that required dry cleaning.
