Like a pediatrician rounding on cystic fibrosis children in the hospital and smoking at their bedside. That's what the early 1980s were like. (lemmy.world)

Like, even teachers smoked. Not in lessons, but if they were out in the playground supervising, or in the staff room, they'd light up.

My headteacher had a pipe. I think it was about the only thing that kept him going, right up until the cancer got him.

Also in lessons. I had a teacher that would open the outside door of the classroom (leading to a garden) to stand there smoking. Not that it helped because we still got a good whiff of the smoke.

This was around 1995 probably.

Mine thought that opening a small window in the class would suffice, and was smoking the whole time.
