When I'm accused of naivety for thinking the world can change for the better, I use this very example.
I'm not old & in my lifetime, smoking went from absolutely everywhere, to "smoking sections", to the current reality.
It took education, new laws, & peer pressure. All of it - no silver bullet.

I lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking.
Smoking in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals…
All of that seems insane now, but it was very controversial when we DID change it.
We CAN change things.

It’s crazy that people used to be able to just smoke cigarettes wherever they wanted

I asked ESPN Research and they asked Elias Sports Bureau and they looked back as far as they could (to 1978) and it would appear Jalen Hurts is the first player to ever commit two turnovers in one play. Isn't history beautiful?
