On the other hand, I have recently read a book. An american hard-boiled Private Investigator type of story.
Every single character in a book seemed to be a heavy chain smoker. People smoked EVERYWHERE. In a hotel room, on a bus, in taxi, in movie theater, on police station, on murder scene, even on airplane!
It was just weird, bordering on ridiculous. I know that situation in 1950s was like that, but smoking in that book was so pervasive that it killed my enjoyment of the book.
People still smoke, even today, yet, thank god, smokers have been banished from most of the places.
