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.
