You grew up in it and didn't notice.
But after the bans the first thing that stood out is you don't need to bleach every piece of fabric you took outside every day. The first time I went out, woke up the next day and my clothes didn't smell... you know, smoky I was very confused. Up until that point I assumed that was just what happened to dirty clothes, I didn't realize it was all the cigarettes.
one of the first times I noticed was when it was banned on flights
There's a local bowling alley I went to as a kid. I didn't go back until 2-3 years after the indoor cigarette ban. Once I went in I immediately said "Something's different..."
Then someone said there's no more smoke, that was my Aha! moment.
My wife tells me that when she used to go clubbing she would come home with burn marks/holes in her dresses all the time.
Got one on my brand new t-shirt I had bought with my student loan money... That was fucking annoying.
