It’s absolutely amazing to me that 40 years ago, you could smoke on a bus

Plane, train, the Boston Garden, grocery stores, drug stores, even in (gasp!)the doctor's office.

And there was less of this asthma crapola being fed the sheeple.

And there was less of this asthma crapola

I worked my way through college in a hotel as a bellman. About once a month I’d get a call to move a guest from one room to another because the room smelled of smoke. No problem, I know that can be annoying to people and if you’re paying the rate these people were, they have an absolute right to not be subjected to that.

The problem came when people tried to justify it (which, as I said was completely unnecessary), I’d hear “It’s aggravating my asthma”. I’ve had asthma for years and would always respond “Oh, your in the club too?” and hold up my inhaler. Then I’d proceed to pepper them with questions relating to their experiences with asthma. And surprise, surprise, surprise, NOT ONE person who made this claim ever really had it. They’d just uncomfortably try to formulate generic answers to my incessant questions.

You are dead on that the complainers are full of it.
