I remember being in the hospital emergency room with parents during the mid 70’s and the doctor lit one up right there. My parents later talked about how inappropriate it was. That was the first time I heard talk of it being bad. Everyone smoked everywhere all the time
I know an older nurse whose job it was to follow a pediatrician around the children’s hospital and try and catch his ashes in an ashtray while he rounded on his patients.
