Lots and lots of smoke. Cigarettes, cigars, pipes. Constant, dense tobacco smog throughout the house - and from 1940 - 1945 when tobacco was not available, the smoke was from any kind of leaf (and even dried dung) that would burn slowly.
I never smoked - yuk.......
I have all kinds of allergies.

Lots of cigarette smoke.

Never smoked myself and my attitude now is that smoking around me is bad for your immediate health. :-)

Default Minimal exposure

No one in immediate household smoked.
Aunts & uncles & some close friends of parents smoked heavily.

My mother smoked through her pregnancy with me and my entire life growing up. Also my grandparents smoked. Lots of exposure.

Both my parents smoked. Every summer we would go for a month long vacation in an air conditioned car with all windows closed and both parent's smoking like a chimney. My dad would crack his window when he was done and push the cigarette butt out the window and it would promptly reinter the car and burn whoever was sitting behind him. He thought it was funny.
