Negative health effects aside, I do kinda miss the smell of certain places - the smoking tables of a restaurant, an 80's arcade, the back bar of a country pub... not in a way that I liked the smell at all, but that's what it always was, and taking an element away from it leaves a noticeable gap.

I suppose people of a later generation will never remember the difference, much like I never really knew anything but colour TV.

That said, I absolutely 100% do not miss going out on the piss, getting home somehow, and waking up in my clothes that absolutely reeked of smoke. It was horrific. A quick wash never seemed to clear it fully either - it was either a wash that lasted so long that it looked like you bought your clothes from the children's aisle, or a whole day line drying to get rid of that stale smoke smell.

I'm glad the world is moving on.

I'm not sure I would say that I "miss" them... But if I had a whiff, it would probably bring back some sort of feeling of nostalgia.

Can confirm. Just the other day I walked past a bar where some folks were smoking outside and the combination of “bar smell” with the added hint of cigarette really sent me back to my childhood.
