At family friends you’d take a break to get some fresh air or a bathroom break, as they smoked indoors and you had to be nice.
At restaurants I would push my parents for non smoking. One time they skipped that option and it impacted me so much I threw up all over the back seat.
They no longer opted for the smoking section ever again.
Man smoking in restaurants was wild in hindsight. It was always disgusting but it was normalised. The thing that always bothered me the most was that when i was out with my family as a child was that we were like 12 people and one guy smoked, we usually sat in the smoking section. That was also the case when i was older, that one or two smokers out of 10 people were always the cranky bitches.
Or sitting in a restaurant where the non smoking tavle was next to the smoking table. So you would sit back to back to a guy who was smoking while wou were eating. Wild times, glad that shit is over
You are totally right, it’s crazy to think back to it. I was that 12 year old once or twice.
Even more screwed up was there were smoking sections with walls or without. Without… well, it’s smoke. So it’s going into the non smoking section. With walls? It was like an aquarium.
This is completely incorrect. In fact when I studied Spanish in college, one assignment had us reading about an anti smoking campaign in Argentina from the early 2000s.
Okay? There was one here in Southeast Asia, yet everyone still smokes indoors. Some assignment you did in a language class about a campaign in a country you haven’t visited is irrelevant.
Man, it was rough.

It’s still a thing in most of the world.
I’d probably say “in much of the world” unless you want to take the time to prove your claim.
You can say as you wish, the limitation on smoking is a first world concept.

I then moved to Argentina, so there’s that…
