The abolishing of smoking cigarettes in public places.

Imagine trying to do that today, though. The types that hate bike lanes would be screaming about the restriction of their freedom

Oh I remember that. My dad was also incensed about smoking bans. And he was a doctor.

I'm pretty sure that drunk driving was illegal even in 70s/80s ... you could drink a beer while driving, but if you were over the limit, you were cooked. This being said, open container laws while not driving are stupid and lead to idiocy like people being fined for having a beer on their own porch.
