The crazy thing is that it was so prevalent, I don't really remember the world smelling smoky unless I went into a small room like my grandparents living room.
I didn't notice it in places like restaurants and bars until after the bans came.
I would guess that my generation has a diminished sense of smell because of it.
Not necessarily a generally diminished sense of smell. We stop sensing smells when we get very used to them.
