Did your parents force you into smokey restaurants against your will?

[darklordoftech]

Mine did until the day that the smoking ban went into effect, all while they preached about the evils of smoking.

[HillGoose]

Yeah brah idk how it is in NJ but here in TN it's horrible it's like everyone smokes you know, not in my house and like restaurants and stuff but like if you go into anyone's house, like my family and everyone at least, you get assaulted by smoke and it's like, makes my allergies awful because I already have god awful allergies so people don't understand why I don't want to come see them but literally if I walk into the house of a smoker I'll be sneezing and hacking like I have an actual cold for like the next week so you know I just hate it.

Some dumbasses have come into my house and decided they needed to smoke in my house, it pisses me off you know. Like go out on the deck man, I don't want to have to see or smell your disgusting af habit that's going to kill you.

I can't wait to move to more health-conscious Colorado, and live in a desert where I won't have to be so affected by smoke or plants.

[Esteemed Jimmy]

No, and they never went to any either.

I'd bet that it's illegal to smoke inside someone else's house without their permission.

[Sumner 1868]

The only time that was ever an issue is whenever we visited Idaho or Montana, and it was just a minor annoyance at most.

[dead0man]

As someone over 30, yes, of course.  It was either that or not go to restaurants.

Yeah if someone refused to stop smoking in my house I'd kick their ass lmao

As someone who was 7 when the indoor smoking ban happened. No.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

No.  I grew up at a time when if the parents occasionally went to a nice restaurant, they usually left the kids at home with either an older kid, the gramps, or a babysitter.  That said, they did sometimes take us to restaurants you could smoke and that provided ash trays for the customers.  Restaurants such as Hardee's, Burger King, McDonald's, etc.  But they were all reasonably ventilated so that they weren't smoky even if someone nearby was smoking.

[An American Tail: Fubart Goes West]

Smoking in restaurants?!?!

- Californian

[The Arizonan]

As someone over 30, yes, of course.  It was either that or not go to restaurants.

Why didn’t someone tell these people not to smoke inside?

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Nope. Even when it was allowed, we always found ourselves in restaurants that either banned it voluntarily or had non-smoking sections.

[Tender Branson]

When I was young in the early 90s, every single restaurant in Austria was a smokey restaurant.

So, if you wanted something to eat while on a trip you had to go to a smokey restaurant ...

[Reaganfan]

My father smoked cigars during our Disney World trip in 1996. People smoked in malls when I was a kid. I remember being in line to see "Titanic" at the movie theater in 1997 and people were smoking in the line for the tickets. This was 1997, not 1937, mind you.

Until 2007, at any restaurant in Ohio people were asked "Smoking or non-smoking".

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

No, I liked them.

[YE]

Yes (raised in a casino town).
