I was born in 1979 and while my mother was having contractions, the doctor was smoking in the labor room. One of the nurses said "One of these days you're going to blow the place up, smoking around that oxygen.." so..in the state of Maryland in 1979 it was legal. In my lifetime, I have no memories of smokers in hospitals.Recently, area hospitals have banned smoking on hospital property. A smoker used to be able to smoke at designated areas.In airports, there were designated smoking rooms.My mother said that people used to be able to smoke on airplanes. In 1994, smoking was banned in our local shopping malls.
