I sort of can't believe they did really. This wasn't years and years ago either, 90s and early 00s. How could they be so selfish?

Yes, it was pretty common then.

Would I do it? No.
Do I do anything that will be discovered to be dangerous to children on 30 years’ time? Who knows?

FIL still does. He lives alone though.

We don’t ever go to his house any more, I finally put my foot down after years of stinking and having to wash all of our clothes after visiting him.

Yes when we were children my mum use to share a room with 3 of us and would smoke in the room (not even out the window) she also smoked in the car when I was pregnant with my daughter this was only 13 years ago so not ages ago.

Mine did, up until the early 2000s, and they did many others things I wouldn’t do either. It’s not really something I think about to be honest.

Yes - 70s, 80s and 90s (think they eventually stopped around the 00s due to serious health conditions). I HATED it but was bulldozed with 'it's our house we'll do what we want'. I wasn't given the space or freedom to consider that it was also MY home and I had not choice as I was a child. It's unthinkable now, but that's the way I was taught to expect things to be :(

Yes! It was completely normal in those days (obviously I don't think that now) . Smoking in all rooms, in the car, ashtrays by their bed.

Still does

Yes. Plenty of parents still smoke in the house now.

Mine did, 70's 80's and 90's. Don't think they knew about passive smoking then.
