I remember the time before smoking was outlawed in my state in most businesses and within 25ft of entrances. Shit sucked! Please do not go back! I do not want to breath your stink!
@jayeallisonashtear.bsky.socialThe reduction in smoking that took place in the back half of the 20th century was genuinely one of the best public health interventions of all time. It's hard to overstate what smoking did to people.
It even made us LOOK different. It's one reason people, on average, look younger than they used to.
