I don’t miss those days. Restaurants were the worst. Yes, your smoke is able to go over the invisible nonexistent fucking barrier between your seats and mine.

    I remember working in restaurants in high school, coming home, showering, and the stench of cigarette smoke just releasing itself from my hair

    Fun times

      Yeah man. When I was in the military in the early to mid 90’s they hadn’t banned it at the federal level at first. It was so disgusting having to work inside. I would go back to the barracks at night coughing if I had to work next to certain people in my unit for any length of time because they were chain smokers and as a lowly PFC I couldn’t say shit to anyone about it. I would ALWAYS volunteer for any duty outside just to get away from it.

      Second year I was in, they banned all indoor smoking across the entire federal government and I was SO HAPPY. The amount of bitching from those crusty old soldiers though… 😂
