> Wine to kids at school lunch.
Never heard that one. My father's friends in boarding schools in the 1960s would have a glass of wine or apple wine (cidre) on sunday, but that was as wild as it got. But maybe it was a regional thing.

Pour la première fois, une mesure significative est adoptée. Désormais, aucun enfant de moins de 14 ans n'est autorisé à boire du vin à table

He'd stave curiosity, monitor and teach about the effects and there wouldn't be much in the house anyway. No one batted an eye. Same for the cigarette. You want to try? Here, this is the poor people's stuff (awful awful cheap tobacco...) and now let me tell you about how much it costs every week and what we can't afford because I can't stop, and now let's talk compound interest and cancer and teeth, and... there was no mystery or edginess in all this. The price of modern life, he would call it.
