I remember when there were smoking sections in planes... just barely.
You could smoke anywhere. Buses, trains, hospitals, supermarkets.
Couldn't on public where I grew up, but you most definitely could at bus stops and in restaurants. Seeing a smoking section in an indoor cafe in Japan back in 2012 was a bit mind blowing
By the time I came along hospitals and schools (as long as you were in the designated area) were about the only place you couldn't but everywhere else was fair game.
Heck, there was a smokers area at school
This is about the same as me
