    Maybe it’s because I live in a progressive state, but I haven’t heard “smear the queer” since the 70s.

    We set up smoking vs. non-smoking areas in 1981 for gods sake. We allowed cities to be more strict in 2000.

      I was in a red part of a blue state, so YMMV.

      I remember the smoking areas: not that it prevented the entire restaurant from smelling of smoke. But they weren’t a thing in bars or bowling alleys. In my state indoor smoking was finally banned entirely in 2008.
