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)

Oh ive heard the stories, but well the smell and look of a 99 cents store filled with smokers and every adult at the park smoking a cigarette is burned into my brain. I know what I missed since the old tech I mess with will sometimes have the smell absorbed into it so badly I need to make a vinegar solution and leave it in the sun to ge the smell out. Im just saying that I have an inkling of how bad it was at its peak, and can say im fucken glad kids these days arent exposed to it nearly as much.

I got some really cute clothing for my kids from a friend I was helping move who smokes heavily, and I've washed it 3 times and it still smells of cigarettes...

She also gave us some totes which I scrubbed with vinegar and dawn in the bathtub which turned the water brown but it still smells a bit of cigarettes. Some pancake mix from their pantry literally tastes like cigarettes. Good riddance to smoking!
