Timelines of The Smoking Way

Here are some tidbits of information I have come across. Some are from England and some from the United States. Ting them in with my own situation.

I would run out to my car in between classes for a quick smoke. We had a hour off for lunch we would walk across the street from the school and smoke. Nobody would bother us. The high school football coach would cut his cigars in half so he could cup them when seeing students. The sports field was 5 blocks away, always time for a smoke if you walked slow.1964 US Surgeon General's report "Smoking and Health"

Freshman in college. would smoke with friends in the hall. Mother had a heart attack, when visiting her in the hospital to be polite I would stand by the window to smoke.
1965 Cigarette advertising on television banned under powers of 1964 Television Act in Great Britain. Since some of the college teachers could smoke during class we couldn't figure out why we couldn't.
1968 Mom had another heart attack. About this time visitors were made to smoke in the halls of the hospital instead of the room. We thought this was a afront to our rights. there would be 2 or 3 people smoking right outside of a hospital room. Started teaching the principal would be smoking a cigar at his desk after school. I would pull out a ash tray from my desk and smoke. It wasn't until the middle 70's that not directly being told but got the feeling a teacher should not smoke at their desk. This was not a 'habit'
