Smoking in the office was also the norm when I started working in them in 1956. In a meeting, as things got tense, they would all get out their fags and light up. I would often be the only non-smoker present. The room would be full of their smoke. I can also remember when having my hair cut the wretched barber had a lit fag stuck to his lower lip.
