    I’m so grateful none of my family smoked (even grandparents), but I fucking hated when a friend’s parents did crap like that. Fortunately my childhood was the time period when in my country that stopped being seen as acceptable. I also remember friends’ parents being weirdly combative about the idea that they should wear a seat belt

      The whole “seatbelts can trap you, it’s safer to be thrown clear of the collision” nonsense survived well into my lifetime. It’s a mind-bogglingly stupid concept that far outlived the active propaganda campaign. I didn’t start wearing a seatbelt until I started driving, which in hindsight is hard to believe. But buckling up was the exception and not the rule when I was a kid in the 80s.
