In the early 70's, smoking was still socially acceptable, and fast food places like Burger King and McDonald's kept a stack of ashtrays (pictured above) on every table so people wouldn't flick their ashes onto the floor. Even though I really miss the decade, I have to say that some aspects of the decade I don't miss at all.Thursday, September 02, 2010

I was always a non smoker, and just couldn't stand all the smoke in restaurants, at work, heck everywhere!
My folks smoked like chimneys inside the house. I was always exposed to it so it didn't really bother me too much back then.
We all grew up with it, most of our parents smoked, but I always hated it, especially in the car when it was too cold to roll down the windows! Also, at the dinner table after we ate and the smoke would come down on the food. Yuck!
Clearly you never lived in Oklahoma (my birth state) where smoking is still rocking everywhere! Probably because the Injuns are buildiing casinos everywhere and even taking over Burger King's and Subway sandwich shops, and they don't have to follow White Man's laws.
Editor's Note: As a Cherokee Indian, I feel comfortable referring to myself and fellow brethren as "Injuns".
Robin: That sounds like torture.
Amy: Are you 100% Cherokee?
Its still like that in Mexico. I didn't know how to act when we went to Cancun in 2008! You can smoke mostly anywhere there...even at the mall!
I used to collect those things and put them on my bedroom door. No idea why...
I could never find a use for those things
