The fission style bomb (atomic bomb) has been obsolete since the invention of the hydrogen fusion (thermonuclear) bomb. Many countries have nuclear capabilities. However, no nuclear weaponry has been used against anyone since the dropping of the two atomic bombs on Japan in 1945.
The above answer is quite correct, but they asked whether it is banned or not so, yes it is banned because of the side effects of the bomb, it makes the place where the bomb had exploded unlivable for a few months or maybe even years.
Firstly, fission-only bombs are NOT obsolete; in fact, they form the majority of low-yield designs (primarily those intended for tactical battlefield use). In addition, the fusion-"boosted" fission bomb is now the standard for mid-yield bombs (low-100s kT range), due to its simplicity and much smaller size vs a hydrogen weapon. Hydrogen weapons (which, in almost all cases, are designed as the 'fission-fusion-fission' concept) become prevalent at yields above 300kT, and used solely at design yields above 500kT.
Secondly, no form of nuclear weapon has been banned by any international treaty, and thus, they are perfectly legal weapons of war. Specific uses of nuclear weapons may be considered illegal, but the weapons themselves are not. Certain countries have either disclaimed use, or legally forbidden use or development by themselves or disallowed them on their territory, but this is exclusive to those countries, and aren't international agreements.

Was there any warning that mt Vesuvius was going to erupt?
There was plenty of warnings that Mt. Vesuvius would erupt. That's why so many people actually escaped. There were earth tremors and small quakes for weeks before and the water sources were drying up. The smart ones read the signs and got out.

Did you drop the atomic bomb after the space race or after?
The only atomic bombs dropped on any nation during a military conflict were the two atomic bombs dropped on August 9 and 6 in 1945. There have been test bombs dropped by Russia and the United States but not on people or cities. Therefore the answer to your question is that there have been no bombs dropped after the space race or since World War 2. The reason is obvious: It causes immense devastation and deaths instantly and for many decades afterward. No nation truly wants to use an atomic bomb. The Atomic Race is basically over and thousands of atomic bombs have been dismantled in the USA and world wide. There are still nuclear missiles around but they are meant for defense against nations who use them as offense against another nation (North Korea is a current treat of this.)
What has the atomic bomb done to society?
One thing is that since the age of atomic weapons there has not been any more world wars.
