Everyone have their own “hot takes” that either work as a valid opinion, or ragebait for drama. Personally, I have one that if I’m saying it to you all, maybe considered to be “too serious😈🤡”. The hot takes itself is . . .
God Never forbid man to do their [hobbies/fun], (toxic) society did
How about yours? I like to hear alongside the reason why ;)
(Edit: I’m aware that some takes may kinda too far and too deep, so let’s keep it casual)
In the 80s, shopping malls had ashtrays at the end of every bench. Every workplace had a cloud of cigarette smoke at every entrance that you had to walk through. It’s much much more socially unacceptable to smoke cigarettes than it used to be.
Both of those things are still happening? At least if the benches are outside.
I’m talking about indoors. You could walk around smoking cigarettes inside the shopping mall. Nowadays most places in the world ban smoking in indoor public spaces and within whatever distance from building entrances. I don’t think there’s a shipping mall in North America that allows smoking indoors.
Ok. I usually don’t think of indoor when I read “in public”. Obviously you can’t smoke inside a store, not even in the 80s.
Perhaps not in a clothing store but you sure could smoke in supermarkets in the 80s and shopping carts even had ashtrays on them.
Edit: oops I’m being told that there were ashtrays in the fitting rooms and bathrooms in clothing stores too but as a kid my clothes were cash and carry.
