We're talking about the US here, right?

My parents didn't smoke but that's literally how I knew the babysitter was gone and my parents were home from a night out.

Smoking indoors is banned basically everywhere thankfully, but yeah, there are still way too many smokers here.

In France it's like a third of people, in Greece it's like every other man smokes.

I went to the UK and France in 2004. Got to go back to France last year; I was going to say it’s like the U.S. in the 1990s but it seems like they’ve banned indoor smoking in most buildings so it is better than that. There are still a lot more people smoking in outdoor sections than I’ve experienced in the U.S. for about 20 years, though. I’ve gotten so used to smoking being rare in the U.S. that it felt weird to see (relatively) so much in France.

The 90s were nothing compared to the 80s for smoking.

Im 24 and I got the tail end of this with Gen X smokers, motherfucker I can still smell their shitty marlboros. At least go with scavenged WW2 ration cigarettes like a civilized person.
