I try to tell my grandkids how it was for us growing up. So many people smoked that you couldn’t escape it. They smoked in the Dr’s. office, they smoked in the grocery store, the doctor and the dentist smoked, in the office, often while they were working. Okay, I don’t remember anyone smoking in church but you got 2nd hand smoke at home, at your friend’s houses and just about anywhere you went in public.

Yes, and we were a much freer society.

Oh, don’t forget airplanes. What if you were in the last seat of the non-smoking section and had a long flight? Or got that one table in the restaurant that was non-smoking? Those things I do not miss.
