1080

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)

I was born in the early 90s and remember making fun of the idea that a non-smoking section separated from active smokers in the IHOP by a thin barrier that didn't even reach the ceiling could do anything.

Boy, leaded gasoline really fucked up whole generations, didn't it? Oh... We are still dealing with the fallout from that, aren't we?

A smoking area in a restaurant was about as useful as setting up a pissing area in a pool....

You got that backwards. Smoking section was the default state. The non-smoking section was the special.
