Wow, it’s honestly wild to imagine a time when cigarettes were sold at hospital bedsides! The 1950s feel like another world compared to today. Medical advice, daily habits, and what was considered “normal” have changed so much—sometimes for the better! It really puts into perspective how much society and awareness about health have evolved over the decades. Makes me curious what things we do now will look just as wild to people in the future!

Ive seen a video of a doctor taking about that subject and he said that he thinks overprescription of antibiotics will be looked at this way due to the laziness of the approach and the downsides of it. I of course don’t know enough to say anything about it but I can see his reasoning

That being said, in 2018 I've learned that at least one chain smoking pulmonologist exists.

Update: there may be some more smoking doctors...

Doctors, Nurses and Smoking: Smoking Among Medical Professionals

Most medical professionals usually don’t smoke. But some do, despite many having first-hand experience of its dangers. The question is: why?
