i do not miss people smoking indoors. like restaurants having smoking sections, bars/clubs being smoky. it was so normal at the time and the bans seemed so drastic when they started popping off.
but like 5 or so years ago, i was in vegas (not because i wanted to be) and walking through a casino and even though it was practically dead with 30 foot high ceilings and industrial air handlers, the joint was permeated with that stale smoke smell cigs make after days and days and days of smoke. reminded me of how much it inhibits the sense of smell, to where one has no idea how much their clothes/hair/hands reek.
My grandparents chainsmoked in the '90s and it was disgusting. Ashtrays with old cigarettes stuffed into them, ash permeating the wall-to-wall carpeting, blue smoke filling the air. Even my grandfather's buick, the quintessential Stan Kelly car, had multiple ashtrays that were filled with cigarettes. I even heard my grandfather maintaining once that smokers who died of cancer had really just inhaled too much car exhaust. And, of course, he died of throat cancer. I'd also like to thank the scientists working for the tobacco industry who told everyone that cigarettes were safe.

lol car exhaust is extremely poisonous too we're gonna look at car filled streets the same way we look back at smoking indoors :inshallah-script:
