One of the few things America has done unambiguously right is the strong anti-snoking campaigns. I think my mom is the only smoker I know anymore
It's so good that most of the og tobacco barons are dead and don't have much power, otherwise current admin would be introducing mandatory smoking right about now
I did say it was one of the few, and vaping did kinda take its place for a lot of young folk
Smoging was almost gone here too like 10 or so years ago. Now it seems like almost everyone is back to cigarettes. I haven't been on a single date with a non smoker in probably 4 years. I know a guy who has a pretty stubborn g Form of cancer for years, but he would never stop smoking. Everyone is like: yeah it's unhealthy and all, but i'm cool like that. I get that and i don't care about your health, it's gross and you are a walking littering machine. There has to be better ways to be unhealthy
Can't you smoke indoors still in parts of America?
basically not in any public space, with rare exception.
There are still hotels with 'smoking' rooms in I think South Carolina and Kentucky at least, you definitely want to make sure you have a non-smoking room or you'll be inhaling musty old tobacco smells the entire night, something I had made the mistake of once.
Laws vary state to state. I walked into a bar in rural Pennsylvania that had ash trays on the bar and the odor hit me in the face as soon as I walked in the door. Don't miss that one bit. Someone told me it's still legal in places that don't serve food
