i don't think it's known today, but back in the day, you would find film, or layers of smoke on the walls, they would chnage the color wall paper, and the room with places of exvess smoking. You would just wipe the walls, or the desks, and you would see this nicotine film, ingrained into the walls. Walking to meetings, yoiu know like hte 1950s, it was normal, and it's like you didnt even notice it because it was so common to smoke back then. But if look it now, no public place or offices smell like ciggerette, and if someone comes in after a smoke break, they are look down on, nasty smell. Still there are tons smokers today, bars, people bum smokes all the time, but back then is when you would walk into a house, a subway, an airplame, they would have to constantly replace the air filters on airplaces, and also hospitals. It just ... i was doing research on history of smoking, wide speak smoking started after WWI, that's when alot men started smoking, during world war I, (in america, other countires have diffrent stories) and then that's when it started becoming wide spreak, then women started smoking. For a while, if a woman smoked it was looked down on. It was mainly guys, smoking cigars and having brandy or bourbon during office meetings, or smoke rooms after dinner. Today it is not ... no office, nowhere smells like ciggies, i think its great, cleaner, no 2nd hand smoke, and less and less people are smoking today. From anti-smoking ads with this generation. But it's just yeah....for about 40-50 years it was normal to see smoking, and you didn't even notice the smell because it so common. Movie stars, it was considered "adult" and in aay fashionable to smoke, it gave like this elegant thing, older movie stars smoked and tons of other people around. Kids started smoking because they saw their parents, and they considered it to be an adult, was to smoke. It was nasty nasty time, but that's from research i did on history of it. And many people, died from lung diseases, that is no propaganda, no matter how much it stinked, the 2nd hand smoked cause lung diseases, were seeing less cases of it than back then. I think that's why this new generation strongly discourages ciggies
