Was born in 1957. Grew up with everyday second hand smoke. Was generally unaware of it until my young teenage years. Then couldn’t tolerate it. Would stuff a towel under my bedroom door to keep the smoke from creeping in during my mom’s a.m. ciggy and coffee in the kitchen. Am a nonsmoker today and will walk across the street to avoid someone smoking. Yeeeech.

I grew up outside of the US in the 1980s when everyone smoked everywhere. Homes, restaurants, planes. I still can’t stand the smell of cigarette smoke, it makes me physically sick.

FWIW, my mother died in 1991 of lung cancer. She started at age 15. Kept smoking until she could no longer. RIP Pearl.

RIP, Pearl. I feel bad for all the people who got addicted and then got sick and died because tobacco executives knowingly lied.

DavidGarcia,

back in the good old days kids didn’t have anxiety since they were constantly breathing in cigarette smoke. bring back smoking on air planes. won’t anyone think of the children?

Fun fact: back in the smoking days, airplane cabins actually had more fresh air than they do today, when all we get is ‘recycled’ air.
