@poundquerydotinfo @cstross Younger folks simply *do not believe me* when I explain that in the 1970s, because at least 25% of your uncles and aunts smoked, *every single place you could exist in* including the house of your non-smoking parents, smelled like stale cigarette smoke (or, if you were really unlucky, stale cigar smoke) 100% of the time. Your car. Your clothes. Your hair. Everything. Always. All the time. Forever.
