I’m happy that I, and most of my family members don’t smoke.

Same here. None of my family members smoke either. I was always so annoyed when I was a kid, entering areas where people had smoked. For some odd reason my memory picks up Arby's as the primary restaurant where smoking was the biggest issue. Carls Junior/Hardees as well.

I don’t remember people smoking there specifically, but Arby’s and Hardee’s are the two restaurants I specifically remember having ashtrays on the tables. I think some restaurants must have already banned smoking by then, because I don’t remember McDonalds or Subway having them.

Collect vintage incandescent and fluorescent fixtures. Also like HID lighting and streetlights.

The more I think about it, the more I think I remember when Mcdonalds had it... like, WAY back in the day. I'm talking mid and late 90's/very early 2000's, when most Mcdonalds were still lit with HPF Rapid Start fluorescent troffers. But yeah Arby's and Hardees are definitely looking like the main ones that I can remember.

Quote from: Baked bagel 11 on February 22, 2026, 05:52:48 PM I haven't got an issue with smoking, or weed for that matter. it's nice enough. Vaping tasted horrid, makes you look stupid, and still has nicotine 9/10 times. Smoking things is bad for your health, and everyone who does should know the problems and risks.  My biggest issue with pot is DO IT AT HOME !!! Now that it's legal here I frequently smell it while driving and while "out and about" ! Also , there's someone here at work who has one of the "pot vapes" There's days I can clearly smell it at work but can't determine who exactly is using it . When I do , I promise that HR will find out and the user WILL wind up unemployed !!    Last thing I need is to wind up hurt by some dumbass who's high at work !

Indeed, I should have specified, AT HOME, or the park, somewhere private.
