To those alive in the 1970s and 80s, was the lead-crime connection thought of at all back then? (lemmy.world)

From googling the first major study was released in 2000. Before that the connection to brain damage was known.

Was the connection to crime specifically discussed at all, even though it wasn't proven?

Was everyones sense of smell just completely fried from all the cigarettes?

    I remember when the smoking ban came in. A lot of local pubs had to do emergency renovations. It turns out, without the cigarette smoke, people could smell how bad the carpet etc were!
