Whenever older folks tell me they want to return to what the U.S. was like I think about the times I had to ask for a non-smoking table only to wait an extra 10 minutes just to sit somewhere where I could still smell the sweet aroma of stale cigarettes like a pound of ash that was fermented with moldy potatoes being stuffed up my nostrils.
Every once in a while I remember that people could smoke on airplanes and trains and I am so thankful that that fucking bullshit is over. My god, that was some awful shit.
Hope your lungs made it out of there ok. My friends mom died from lung cancer, but the kids are mostly ok so far. Sad part was she was a nurse who smoked like a chimney pretty much right up until death.

After having to stroll through the smoking section none the less

Or actually sitting in the smoking section because your folks are smokers. Blech!
That smell gets on everything.

Somehow underselling how much it sucked.
Counter point- I miss being able to smoke in bars
