    I would argue that this depends on location

      True. I pretty much grew up on the “no smoking” wave through the late 90s/early 2000s and watched it disappear from public spaces.

      It was a trip when my dad brought me to Detroit in my teens for a concert, and lit up inside a restaurant. I saw the server walking over briskly and thinking “Dad, wtf are you doing??”. But then she just dropped an ash tray on our table and went on her merry way.

      Thats when I realized that the whole world hadn’t signed on to the whole “no smoking in public spaces” paradigm.
