A long time ago…you could smoke while you got your haircut...

Am wondering when they
built this barber's chair.
Earlier last century, one 
could smoke while one 
got a shave and a haircut…
Used to be a lot of seating
had built-in ashtrays...

You never know what sort of aromatic characters you'll meet...

"I was smoking on the porch while 
watching my friends' kitty cats one 
evening when suddenly these three 
caballeros came stumbling around 
the corner, heading straight for me.
I lept for the back door and bolted 
inside just in time. I left my cigarette 
burning in the ashtray. I recall being 
really annoyed. You never know 
what sort of aromatic characters 
you'll meet when you smoke..."
