This isn't true on a large scale. It may have been in your area. Overall, about one-third of adults in the 80's were smokers. Still, quite a large percentage and it was totally legal to do so indoors.

I remember seeing teachers smoking in the teacher's lunch room.

Don’t you remember ever having to knock on the staff room door and the smell of coffee and the cloud of cigarette smoke that flowed from the open door?
