Friendly reminder. THIS is the type of bullshit the boomers grew up with, and see nothing wrong with.
But a 16 year old at Walgreens working register needing to call for a manager to sell cigerettes because she legally can’t? Well that teenager is clearly what’s wrong with society!
You know, before it was scientifically proven that smoking, asbestos, leaded gasoline, heroine, thalidomide/contergan, etc etc were health hazards, people had no reason to believe that those things were unhealthy.
I totally agree that it’s bullshit someone can’t legally sell cigarettes or alcohol while being underage when the recipient is old enough, but believing those things are healthy in a time where it was sold as state of the art or even miracle cures doesn’t really mean boomers are dumb.
