I remember when they banned smoking in restaurants. Every owner was up in arms claiming it'd kill their business causing all sorts of exceptions to be carved out. Within a few years every place was no smoking because people prefer food that doesn't taste like smoke and walls not sticky with tar

are young people today aware that there was an active effort 20-25 years ago to stop depicting smoking as cool and glamorous because people got tired of watching their loved ones die of cancer and heart disease from something preventable? seems like classic history repeating itself stuff
