Isn't it hilarious how much life changes!!! 

The time of no seatbelts and smoking in the house ( or at all)!

this one amuses me - looks like she has just got out of church and can't wait to light up!

I assume the people who are going to greet her have a lighter present with them

Up until the big campaigns of the late nineties/2000s many people smoked and it was not frowned upon, in fact it was as normal and accepted as is todays fashion to show up with a cup of coffee everywhere and the church.
We have come to condemn and demonize smoking to a point at which looking at a young father with a child on his shoulders and a burning fag in his hand gets our hackles up as if we witness child abuse or at least endangerment. Smoking has transitioned into the outlawed.
Will we eventually see the same with other unhealthy social drugs? Will we get to a point in which we have the same negative and outraged feelings when we look at pictures with wine or champagne glasses on the table?
Sugar? Caffeine?

Greece

Can someone please say who the woman is? She's very beautiful and a reverse google search only brought up that she's a Greek film star and that there were strong rumours of some sort between her and king Constantine....



In short: they all smoke. Goodness!
I think some of them eat the cigs (Margrethe!).

Yeah the demonizing of vices is a touch out of hand, but with smoking the main problem is that the person smoking affects literally everyone in their surroundings. When I'm in places where indoor smoking isn't banned yet(!!) I really have trouble, it affects even my eyes and the smell is just horrid and sticks around for absolute ages...

The best bit though is that doctors used to recommend cigs to pregnant women to help with morning sickness!!! That's how some women started and became hooked..
So beware your doc's recommendations!

These photos are literally nauseating.  Must remind self to stay away from this thread.

Goes to show how times and perception changes. Not long ago smoking was seen as cool and whatnot and now its just nasty and frowned upon.

Idk, I know at least one person who lived back in the days, and who really stayed away from everything that had to do with cigarettes.
Poison sticks, she called them, and said it was obvious they were not good for you.
She also said she didn't feel like seeing her money go up in smoke. Unfortunately she was subjected to passive smoking at her job, and got health problems because of that.
I remember when I was a kid and the dangers of smoking were not discussed like now, that I still thought of smokers "wow, they're stupid".
Not really kind, but there you go.  
I guess there's always the option not to follow trends, but to make up your own mind. Sometimes that's "healthy".
