Originally it was going to be “over the last twenty years” but I decided to be more flexible.
A lot of discussions about how society has changed or how the world is different always circle around to smartphones, social media, “no one talks to each other in person, they’re on their phones always” and the like.
Outside of those topics, what else has changed, by your perception?
I’d go further than that. I remember smoking being pretty common everywhere in the 1980s, and cigarette butts being common anywhere outdoors in a public setting.
I rarely see anyone smoking anymore, and rarely see a single cigarette butt.
That being said, where you are in the US is gonna be a factor, and there are some countries that do still see a fair bit of smoking.
