Question: When was the last time you lived in a house with an ashtray on the coffee table?

Probably 20 years ago.

Just a reminder. 20 years ago wasn’t 1982. It was 2002.

Mid to late 70’s.

My dad smoked way back then. I think he quit @ 1977.

My grandparents smoked inside until 1990ish. Pawpaw would get off work, sit in his recliner, and smoke away. Mawmaw would go sit in the bathroom with the window above the toilet open so no one would see her. She got a cordless phone that was a game changer - she could sit in there for an hour and smoke while talking to her sister…who lived next door.

Do y'all remember the little foil ashtrays in McDonald's? We used to smoke cigs in the one in Central after school.

Nothing was more freeing than ripping heaters in the house in college. It's been about 4 years since I kept an ashtray in the house and I don't smoke cigs anymore.

Damn…blast from the past…I remember those

Same year that ashtray was sitting on an
8-track player

1982 before my dad quit smoking

I have an uncle who has one of these to this day.
