Like a pediatrician rounding on cystic fibrosis children in the hospital and smoking at their bedside. That's what the early 1980s were like. (lemmy.world)

I was born in the early 90s and remember making fun of the idea that a non-smoking section separated from active smokers in the IHOP by a thin barrier that didn't even reach the ceiling could do anything.

Barrier? Most restaurants barely divided the two with an aisle.

Tim Hortons had the smoking box, I'd give a lot to find a photo of it. Basically it was one of the last holdouts.

Minneapolis airport had a smoking room in one of the concourses. It had glass walls and was as gross as you could imagine. I held my breath everytime I walked past

Holy crap that's a memory unlocked, transferring in Minneapolis and holding my breath as you walk past the smoking area
