In 95 if you were over 18 there was a smoking section for students. Teachers smoked their arse off in the teachers lounge.

We had a female teacher that rode a motorcycle to school. She was considered to be quite a rebel. She had a jacket with a bunch of patches. She was sent home one day because one of the patches was a weed leaf patch. She came back with no weed patch, but there were two snaps so she could snap it on when she was away from school.
I remember buying gas in 1977 or 1978 for $.39-.42 per gallon. I cut grass in the early 70's for $4-6 per yard.

That's been common for diesel powered cars for over 25 years.

Not the diesels that I’ve owned

Four door cars were not cool.

At my high school there was a smoking area.
Crazy
You had to be 16 and have a note from your parents to go there

They still aren't in my eyes.

Class of 97 and we had a smoking area. You could also get a "smoke pass" during class. Private school though.

I just imagine that everywhere smelled like cigarettes

It was before my time but the music was amazing. As a hard rock guy, I think of all the bands in peak form. Stones, Aerosmith, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, KISS, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ted Nugent, Van Halen, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and the list goes on. Wow. Compare that to today's offerings.

I'm sure it did but no one noticed because everyone smelled like it.

Saw everyone of those in their prime 
ETA: don’t forget Grand Funk, one of the most underrated bands of all time, BOA not shabby either

Movie seats were crammed together with no reclining. If you were a tall man you’d sit on the aisle so that you could stick your legs out into the aisle. The floor only had a slight incline. Short people couldn’t see the entire screen.
Drinking at business lunches was extremely common.
When we say smoking everywhere we mean everywhere. Ashtrays were everywhere.
The highways were strewn with garbage in the early 70’s. Littering was a major problem. People threw fast food garbage out of their car windows.
Movies were special. If you missed one in the theater you’d never have the chance to see it uncut again.
When you left home no one could find you. If your adult friends went out drinking you’d have to hit every bar until you found them. If you were a kid you’d ride around and look for your friends’ bikes outside of the neighborhood houses or outside of convenience stores.
Porn was a valuable commodity. If your dad had an 8mm porno film and a projector you were the Hugh Heffner of your school.
Seeing a music act perform on TV was a huge deal. American Bandstand, Soul Train, Midnight Special, and In Concert had huge followings.
Kids rarely had allergies. They didn’t run around with epi pens. You might have one kid in class with asthma. If a kid got sick or hurt at a slumber party, his parent would apologize, they wouldn’t blame the host for having peanuts in the house.
Deodorants didn’t work that well. A lot more perfume and cologne back then.

The best part was LSU having nearly all of those, and more. Once the PMAC opened, Baton Rouge was a stop on all of the major tours.
Looking at my 1978 Gumbo, we saw Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris, Chicago, Average White Band, Styx, Crystal Gayle, Foghat, Rod Stewart, John Denver, Emmerson, Lake, and Palmer, Frank Zappa, Heart, Harry Chapin, Boz Scaggs, Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge, Gino Vanelli, and David Bowie all that year. I was lucky enough to see nearly all of them. The Skynyrd plane crashed coming to BR that year too.
ETA: Missed some pages. We also had The Grateful Dead, I guess in the PMAC, and Richie Havens at the Union Theater. The Riverside Centroplex opened in 1977. The concert I remember there was Jackson Brown.

I think it was 1973, my girlfriend at the time had a cousin that was a roadie for Black Oak, let us watch the show from on stage behind the stacks of PA speakers, our ears rang for days, but Grand Funk the same year was still the loudest concert I ever endured.

Zero chest pounding. Only mouthy athlete was Clay. Kids knew what sportsmanship was. They have no clue today.

And he said that lots of times, he didn't even run down court. And that he didn't really try except during the playoffs.
