Your mention of kids somehow defying the odds (according to todays anti smoking nazis) to survive growing up in the 50s-60s-70s is right on the mark.
I cannot remember any men who did not smoke cigars,cigarettes,pipes,do remember several chewers. Can only recall when I was a kid one or two aduilt Women who smoked
at all,and that was seldom.Having been born in the first half of the '30s my recollection is that people smoked virtually everywheres. The cigar lighter in the dashboard was used to light up your smokes. Now theyre converted into powering cell phones, Ipads etc.
It's pretty hard to find an ash tray in a vehicle these days, but you çan find 3 charging ports. Hell, I remember when you had to actually drive inßtead of playing with two or three TV's, DVD's, phones and navigation systems. It's a friggin' miracle we were able to find our way to a destination back in the "old days". Sometimes you couldn't get a radio station and people actually talked to each other. (Shiver) It was frightening....
