Question about king's 11/22/63.** SPOILERS

I read the book a few years ago. But I can’t remember how the protagonist convince Sadie, the woman he met in the past, that he was a time traveler. it seems as if he did. But I can’t remember how.

What did stand out to me was that the protagonist didn't seem to mind the ubiquitous smoking that was going on back in the past. I think anyone as young as he was (born sometime in the 1970s, I think) who had grown up in a largely non-smoking country, would have gone bat-shit crazy, especially in the teacher's lounge.

"Wow, going back to 1963 where no one will complain about my smoking! I'm in!" But it was the not noticing at all that was weird.
