One of my earliest memories was being taken to the Dr’s with a hacking cough. The surgery was avocado green and Dr Dey smoked a pipe. He must’ve been in his 60’s or even 70’s then; he was the third Dr Dey that the village had had and I think his grandson became the fifth eventually.
I’m not suggesting this was a common thing in the early 1980’s, maybe it was more common in sleepy little villages in West Yorkshire than in the cities, but it has passed into family folklore and my Mum still comments on it when the opportunity arises. She still seems to be shocked by it, even after all these years.
Filmed and then some post processing.
Ah Kentucky, the last happy tobacco holdout! My wife is from Eastern Kentucky and every time we go up to visit it’s pretty easy to find a hotel with smoking rooms. Not to mention the other places you talked about!
She knows and talks about all of them. She’s from the Hall/Workman sides but yeah, you still nailed it!
personally I prefer most of these environments being smoke free. In my opinion not being able to smoke is less of forcing ones will on others then forcing non smokers to deal with our smoke. That said I think some aspects of the smoking ban are too far, but in general why should others be forced to deal with my smoke in an enclosed space (especially if they're working).
fun fact it's not that hard to get an exemption to the bans here. But most places either don't bother or prefer blaming the regulations. Like it's really easy to get one, you basically ask and say you'll clearly label that the place is smoke friendly.
You are correct, I flew to Japan a lot and JAl and ANA were the last to ban smoking on flights.
In the late seventies I smoked a pipe in my office, two others smoke cigarettes and pipes in their offices, and we worked, Drum roll, in a hospital,,,,
cheers
I agree. I remember being in bars when I was maybe 20 and so much cig smoke my eyes were burning like hell. After a while, couldn’t take it and have to leave!
And that doesn't include having to clean up after it and damages to business property. And maybe even liability knowing how insurance companies love to come up with excuses to bleed more money.
I remember all this stuff. Seems like a carton of premium cigarettes used to cost $2.00.
During the 1960's I never felt under any restraint. I smoked where I wanted when I wanted. I smoked a pipe when I was 16 or so years old (1960's) because my Father showed me how. I thought puffing a pipe was the way to smoke, and did I puff. I started smoking cigarettes too. I did that for a number of years. I remember smoking cigarettes (late 70's- early 80's) at work. etc. I quit after my boss quit.
About 30 years ago I started pipe smoking again and am still smoking and am still learning how to smoke. I only smoke at home, rarely outside (a lot of dry desert) and never away from home.

No issues with that here, very high population of tobacco users. No one bats an eye at a pipe, cigar, or cigarette.
The most sick i ever got on nicotine was when I was a non-smoking recent high school grad taking a Greyhound bus from Chicago to Ft. Myers, Fla. People were smoking cigarettes by the carton it seemed. I'd get out at the rest stops and try to walk it off, and had to walk around a few blocks before I called to be picked up by my aunt and cousin.
In the 90s I worked in a fab shop with lots of cutting, grinding and welding as a daily norm. I recall a guy welding a big steel project at the far end of the shop with this epic metal frying, sparking, billowing clouds of weld smoke that just went on and on and on. And just when you were convinced that no living person could emerge from that maelstrom of smoke and fire, out popped a guy named (I kid you not!) Skeeter with a stubby cigar in his jaw - it was billowing smoke the entire time from under his welding hood! ?
Smoking inside the hood inside a billowing cloud of weld smoke. Priceless!

I’m very lucky , I light up at my shop , and I’m the only independent skateshop in the county , so unless kids want to go to the mall and get shafted they have to deal with the Old Dark Fired
Working for the airlines in the 80's, I would frequently fly non-rev to Europe, sitting in the very back with the smokers. I wasn't crazy about it, but no problem. I would much rather sit between two smokers, than two people with B.O.
Some years ago my plane was delayed for some hours.
I thought I'd pass an hour or so with a cigar.
Finally located the one and only smoking room at the airport.
Opened the door and reeled back from the fug and stench of cigarette smoke.
The room was so full of smoke you could only see 5ft past your nose.
My clothes reeked for hours from those few seconds of exposure.
Brought home to me why I quit cigarettes
