It’s hard to imagine a time when you could smoke a cigarette on a talk show.
Try being older than 40
I remember ashtrays at the end of every aisle in the grocery store.
And in airplanes!
They're still in the bathrooms, but for safety reasons.
How about the foil McDonald’s ash trays with the logo stamped in them.
My wife still has Xmas ornaments she made as a kid out of them. And none of her family ever smoked.
I’m going to be a year away. I remember smoking sections in restaurants and a world without the internet. I was probably less than 10 taking bike excursions around town without supervision . It was a different time.
I remember cigarette vending machines in diners
I saw one of these in Alabama last year lol
