Smoke
Smoking was a very common and present habit in society. Most women smoked even during pregnancy. According to them, the doctors themselves advised this. Airplane cabins always smelled of cigarettes. This was true regardless of whether or not there were children on the flight.
airport security
The hijacking rate at airports was high. Back then, there were no metal detectors, so you could take whatever you wanted onto planes. Security was only present from 1970 onwards.
car safety
Regardless of any situation, the use of seat belts in vehicles was uncommon. In addition, the habit of drinking was very present in people's lives. It was extremely difficult for someone to be stopped by the police for this.
Schools
It was common for children to receive punishment in schools when they were not behaving very well. A good example of the punishments was taking rulers on the fingers. It is clear that physical punishment existed and was accepted. For the time, this was normal, as it was a way of disciplining children.
Everyone ate what they wanted.
Health care was quite unusual. Diseases like diabetes were quite rare. All people ate what they wanted without worrying about the consequences that would come in the future.
Comics
The pastime of some was reading comic books. This practice began in the 1950s but continued to rise over the next decade. In the later ones, the habit began to drop to make room for other things.
Drinking water was not safe
At that time, most faucets were made of lead, so drinking water opened up an opportunity for the individual to suffer a poisoning. As this was the only way to gain access to it, many were exposed to this danger.
Gyms
Known as health clubs, they became very popular in the 1960s with both men and women.
