I remember when the Denny’s not far from my apartment had one of these vending machines.

Denny’s should’ve been able to grandfather in their smoking sections for the night shift. It’s not like you went to that place to taste your food anyway.

I remember McDonald’s having those goofy little aluminum ash trays.

Just wrapping up a trip to China… I kept telling my partner how much every restaurant smelled like the 80s. So glad it’s not like this any more in the States.

BonesOfTheMoon OP ,

Oh wow. That must have been awful.

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 mean at one point Olympic athletes were spokesmen for cigarettes cause they thought it opened your lungs.

Go watch some of the WSM competitions, they’ll lift mass amounts of weight, then immediately get interviewed and will be dragging down a cig.

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.

I think the world is better off with the decline of tobacco but I used to spend time in East Germany and they used to have cigarette machines right on the street. My Oma would send me down with 5 marks to pick her up a pack.

They still exist. In the North not so much, but in Bavaria you’ll find them on every corner.

I remember when Camel’s, Marlboro’s, and Newports were $0.60 a pack

BonesOfTheMoon OP ,

Aww I love meeting fellow older people on Lemmy.

Drusas ,

Smoking sections in restaurants were just as bad.

I worked at a pub for a while, and had an instance where a group of friends sitting outside moved 2-3 metres away to smoke. I basically had to tell them to either stop smoking or go to the designated smoking area because they were ruining the meal of everybody sitting around

They honestly didn’t take the news well. Made me feel less bad about putting my foot down

Drusas ,

People do tend to act more entitled in groups.

Thank fuck this is no longer the case – the “non-smoking” sections were usually just 2nd hand smoke sections

jubilationtcornpone ,

When every restaurant and bar you went into reeked of stale cigarette smoke. Yuck.

ccunning ,

I do, but a pack of cigarettes wasn’t $12 back then…

mkwt ,

I can’t imagine trying to put $12 in quarters into that machine.

Takes 8 at a time… Christ.
