    All US college campuses had this smell until around 2010 when they began banning smoking even outside. I miss that smell so much.

        Ya it’s weird. Ever since I was very little I’ve loved the smell of second hand smoke, maybe because it was everywhere. One of my earliest memories is playing with a half full ash tray INSIDE a McDonalds.

      I graduated in 2k. I rarely smelled smoke. Even at the parties there wasn’t that much of it. What I did smell came from the older staff and such taking smoking breaks, which were always outside. And I went to school in a red state.

        I graduated in 1988, in a blue state.

        I saw things go from smoking everywhere, to there being non-smoking sections, to eventually no smoking inside

        While there were still way too many smokers, they were already becoming less common. I saw smoking go from something the “cool kids” did, to individuals saying “come on out with me for a smoke so I’m not alone”
