As a lifelong non-smoker, I recall having difficulty enjoying
a restaurant meal due to smokers at the next table, walking out
of a bar smelling like an ashtray, or trying to survive a six
hour flight in the last non-smoking row of an airplane.

I remember being on a BA flight where the stewardess handed out complementary
cigarettes to everyone on board.  My father pointed out that as a child I
could not smoke and offered to take mine as well as his.  They did give
him two.

I also remember Fine Dining Establishments which sold cigars at the counter
so that you could smoke something really stinky and annoy everyone around
you after your meal.  Nick's Seafood Pavillion was still doing this until
they closed in 2003, but I suspect the cigars they had available were
probably decades old by then and very dried out.
