It wasn't that long ago that smoking cigarettes was quite normal, and the smell of smoke was pretty much everywhere ー in offices, restaurants, bars and trains. I still remember a time when smoking was allowed on airplanes.
Now we look back with a mixture of horror and curiosity as to how we were able to withstand smoking in closed places. Seen in this light, the era of dirty, smelly Europeans is perhaps not so surprising. As with smoking, the consequences of general uncleanliness were not just a matter of personal taste.
最終文について、As with の意味を調べてみたのですが、「~ と同様に、~ のように」としか出てきません。文脈的に、この訳では、筋が通らないのですが、どうすれば良いでしょうか。

ご質問の as with smoking を含む箇所: As with smoking, the consequences of general uncleanliness were not just a matter of personal taste. の意味は、「喫煙と同じく、一般的な不潔の影響は、単に、個人的な好みの問題では、ありませんでした」ということで、as with ~ とは、言い換えれば、in the same way as with smoking, 「喫煙(にかかわるの)と同じように」という意味でよいのです。
