When I start to feel nostalgic for the 1980s, I remember things like this. (lemmy.world)

Yes. Your memory is fucked.

There was still smoking in bars in L.A. when I moved there in the 2000s. When I was in high school in the 90s, there was a smoking area for high schoolers until 1993 or so. Smoking wasn't entirely banned on domestic flights until 2000 (although it was mostly banned in 1990).

I suppose. I looked at some bar graphs and plots and adult smoking was going down but did really start dropping off in the late nineties, so that tracks with your experience and memory.
