I remember my flight from San Antonio to Chicago back in 1966.
Got aboard, the NO SMOKING light was on. As soon as we were airborne, the NO SMOKING light went out and the smokers grabbed for the cigarettes. Within a minute you could not see from my seat to the front of the plane.

I found the air vent and turned it on me to get some air, it was that bad! After about 20 minutes the air began to clear some, but was never clear as so many chain smokers were still lighting up.

Smoking was everywhere. Doctor’s offices, hospital waiting rooms, cafeterias. buses, There was no respite.
In the 1970s some cafeterias set off portions for NON SMOKING so people could still taste their food. Problem was, you had to walk through the smoking area to get to it.
