that have occurred. Even NC bans smoking in any public place unless the smoking area is completely seperated from the non smoking area. You can't smoke on planes, buses, trains, in many hotel rooms. You can't smoke in most eateries. You can't get cigarettes from vending machines. All of those changes have taken place since the 1980's.
