Remember back in the early 2000s when all of a sudden they stopped smoking everywhere? This is when many NCP's surfaced from the under-ground/labs.

I remember growing up - my Mom - all of her friends - they all smoked. It never really smelled like smoke.. not like today....
My Mom would send me to the corner store at the age of 8 to get her Benson and Hedges.

The car pool Mom would pick us up and there would be 5 of us crammed in the car. The Mom would be smoking while singing a Karen Carpenter song with her raspy crappy morning voice....no one ever said to me - WOW you smell like smoke when I got to school.

So why the sudden change - bc most N C P's can't stand the smell of smoke or they have a reaction - thats why they made people stand 200 feet away from any public buildings - thats why many were SHAMED for not quitting.. thats why they doubled/tripled in price..

There is so much more to this.... if you live in a apartment complex and someone is on the 11th floor smoking- the person on the 1st floor can smell it?.. give me a break... My Mother smoked in the maternity ward after she gave birth to my twin sister and brother... there is something much bigger to this.
