Tobacco firms were notorious for expecting their employees to be tobacco users.
My mom was a sales clerk for Macy's and one of her friends was a sales clerk there who later became a tobacco company rep who went to convenience stores to manage the marketing displays.
She smoked like a chimney. After my dad died and her friend got divorced, her friend moved in a for a while with my mom and got my mom smoking again. My mom hid it from everybody and we found out only after she died from a cardiovascular event because we found a pack of cigarettes, one half-finished, in the cupboard.
