Yeah, I don’t understand why this is downvoted either… do people not think women’s rights are in jeopardy? I mean, if they don’t live in the US maybe nothing has changed in their world so this doesn’t impact them. Being American, Roe v Wade being overturned is terrifying to me.

23 Things That Are Slowly Phasing Out In 2022 And Are Probably Going To Completely Disappear Social acceptance for cigarette smoking in public. Like the old-fashioned light-them-on-fire tobacco smokes.

I go all over for work, and it’s a noticeable event if someone smells like smoke. No buildings seem to have smoking areas anymore, even the butt cans are rare sightings. Can you even imagine someone lighting up *inside a restaurant*? People still do it, but they almost have to hide it, only smoking at home or in their cars or vaping while out and about. When you come out of a store and you smell cigarette smoke, it’s noticeable because it’s not always there. The difference from 10 years ago is huge. 20 years ago this would be unimaginable.

I am severely asthmatic and if I have to walk through some employee's cigarette smoke to enter a business, I turn around and take my business elsewhere. Not worth it.

I'm a smoker and I hate smoking around entrances. I have had to do it at certain jobs (gas stations) because I worked overnight and had to remain visible to the cameras for "my safety" but even then I stood where the smoke would blow away from the entrance. Now I don't smoke within 50 feet of an entrance. Sigh, I will actually walk further off if I see children or elderly getting out of a car or walking near me. I don't even smoke near my kids outside, they have to be inside the car or house while we smoke outside. I don't think it's right to force someone to inhale/smell my smoking unless they are seeking it out. It's not that hard for me to walk a bit extra to make sure my smoke isn't affecting someone.

If I'm smoking while out and about, which doesn't happen often, I go and find a nice secluded spot where I won't pollute anyone. Mostly I wait until I get home but if I start to panic I find it helps.

Smoking used to be permitted on aeroplanes-the back few rows were designated smoking rows. Obviously the smoke stench didn't confine itself to the back few rows though. My parents both smoked heavily, as did the majority of people in the 70s. We must all have absolutely stunk all the time. These days, the smell of it turns my stomach. Kissing a smoker-yuck.

Oh people are just so precious. I remember when they banned smoking indoors. Because the pub is like going to the gym right? So everyone was, well that seems reasonable. No reason we can't be considerate. We will smoke outside. And the whinging and moaning got louder. Give an inch. Some peoples voices and thoughts are bad for my health. Who shall I complain too? Lets make another law? We don't have enough rules clearly.

You are considered a pariah if you light up even outside now. In most cities, you can't smoke on a city street or in a city park, or around public bldgs. There's a reason for that. Indoors, second hand smoke us a real health hazard. Outdoors, hard to say how diluted that smoke is. I just quit 2 months ago. I'm cold turkey now and every day is a struggle. But worse than that, is the struggle of dying from emphysema or cancer. It's a tough way to go.

Anti smoking whingers. But they have noooo problem with multi national conglomerates feeding the masses trans fats and sugars and enjoying nice big juicy profit margins. Its all void now anyway. Wear a mask! If you are outside and getting offended by wafts of smoke you probably need a good mirror looking. Have you seen what is going on out there in the world? I am surprised more haven't taken it up. The way food prices are going maybe more people will? The last bit is sarcasm and I cannot believe I even have to say that these days.

Offended? Have you ever struggled to take a breath? A bad diet is a choice. Asthmatics have no choice; life depends upon breathing. I wear a mask in spite of the further restriction it places on breathing. It's pretty hard to worry about corporate profit margins when you're just hoping to get to the hospital in time to survive. Perhaps if you were threatened with suffocation as a result of others' deadly habits on a regular basis, you'd be a little bit whingy yourself.

I was a casual smoker back in the day because that’s what we did in the 80’s but now I can’t stand the smell. My late father-in-law was a smoker and as his caregiver I would take him to hospital appointments for his bone cancer treatments. Well sometimes on the coldest winter days here in Canada the damn windows of their stupid Jeep Patriot (gutless vehicle) wouldn’t roll down even after I tried everything, so I was suffering with the smoke while driving in a closed vehicle. I would stop periodically and bang on them to see if the warm interior air loosen them. Sometimes I was lucky.

In my country we have strict laws against it and they're being made stricter, e.g. not allowed to place tobacco products near childrens' products so as to avoid incentivising kids. It's basically banned everywhere except your private garden. HOWEVER in practice, most people still smoke in their cars, and at nightclubs forget it, no one gives a f**k, they still smoke.

I get that, and yes, once you think about it, it is very noticeable. Yesterday I was in a local deli and while waiting for my sandwich the man behind me ordered a pack of Newports. It was TWELVE DOLLARS! Absolutely unbelievable! I recall getting TWO cartons for that money! I don't know how anyone can even afford it anymore! Yet, my neighbors across the street spend most of their time outside on their balcony smoking! I mean literally most of their time! Great folks, we really like them. It's a lot though...

Maybe don't treat smokers like second class citizens. Not everyone wants to be on medication to curb the anxiety of working with the public. As Bill Hicks said "nonsmokers I have news for you and you only. Nonsmokers die every day. Sleep tight". It's a choice, not an opportunity to judge someone

This is why I swapped to vaping... I've done worse to myself than start smoking, but when policies start removing smoke stations then I'll just vape wherever I can. That said a lot of smokers/vapers are inconsiderate and let their smoke/vapor go wherever, DONT LET IT GET IN OTHERS FACE, THATS BACTERIA FROM YOUR LUNGS AS WELL!

I purchased a used car a few years ago and the previous owner must have been a smoker. The car lot did great at trying to get the smell out because it wasn't until 8 months later that the New Car smell was gone and the smoker smell started creeping through. I now keep it loaded with refresheners. But, that smoke smell still creeps through every now and again.

Yet gas powered cars create so much pollution we can't have fresh air even if there werent smokers around. My teacher use to say, as soon as you walk out your door, the smog slaps you and infiltrates your lungs. Basically we have no chance (triple that in a city) for fresh air thanks to these pollutants.

I believe smoking in restaurants (and bars) is banned in something like 35 US states and in many European countries as well, so yes, take those elsewhere please. And to anyone who thinks they're "hiding" their smoking: Everyone can smell the stench you're making, and it will be in your hair and clothes for hours. You're hiding NOTHING.

I can't speak for everyone, but I have a very deep set trauma with the smell of tobacco, especially the smoke. And it's a C/PTSD kind. It's not cute, laughable or snowflakey. It's a problem I'm working on with my therapist because of my parent. The ban on smoking indoors was the best thing that happened for me. Thankfully, I live in a state that smokes a loooooot of weed. That's okay. It's a nice smell most of the time

Even when you aren't working, shifts are so long it feels like you're losing your whole day and your days off are the only chance you have to catch up on cleaning and doctor's appointments and maintaining your life that it's hard to find the time to do any leisure activities. Just watching TV or making a meal feels like such a time investment because there's so little time to waste.

23 Things That Are Slowly Phasing Out In 2022 And Are Probably Going To Completely Disappear Honestly? Cheap and neat finds at antique/thrift stores. Most places upcharge outrageous amounts for the items they get in, especially if it's a legitimate antique or unique item. On top of that, a lot of what's being sold now are nicknacks and decorative items that were made cheap at the time, and no one wants anymore.

I think we're also phasing out of the cheap product phase for everything, or at least slowing down. More and more people are choosing to repurpose their items or try and fix them, rather than just tossing and buying something new. Repurposing is even easier than ever thanks to the internet, it's no longer a struggle to figure out how to fix s**t and to buy missing parts and tools that you'd need to get the job done.

Unless absolutely required, coming to office should be optional.

I live in a 24hr city, and I feel for those who work nights and struggle to do their shopping now.

23 Things That Are Slowly Phasing Out In 2022 And Are Probably Going To Completely Disappear I think the straw has broken the camel's back on laughtrack sitcoms; How I Met your Father is the first one ive seen in years to use one and its... not good

Its jarring to see

So id say those are finally phasing out, with the norm being laughteack free funnies (which have existed for years now ofc, but are becoming the standard)

Yup, Sitcoms are fading in general. Or are already completely gone. At least good ones. Maybe because you can't have dark-humored, sarcastic content anymore. Imagine "Married with Children" going on air nowadays. My favorite Sitcom...

Yup, with the new law in 2024 these are a thing of the past in the EU. USB-C for any brand. Not just Apple.
