Back in my early years as a driving instructor there was a particular supervising examiner (A Mr Bean, believe it or not) whose job was to sit in on the back of a lesson every so many years to make sure ADIs were teaching properly. The first thing he used to do as he settled himself in the seat was to light his pipe. Those days no-one, pupil or instructor, thought anything of it.
A big contrast to now where driving test examiners are instructed to refuse to conduct a test in a car if there is any evidence people have been smoking in it.
