I remember when you got a matchbook when you bought a pack of cigarettes.

And those commemorative matchbooks on every table at a wedding reception
Many, many years ago, I was invited to an Indian wedding in the UK. There was a bottle of decent brandy between two on every table.

and a BIC-lighter when buying a carton...

I remember buying a carton of unfiltered Camels for $2 in the PX. That’s right, a penny a fag! First tour in Viet Nam, a carton of Camels, a block of Day’s Work chewing tobacco, and a box of Swisher Sweets were mine for free if I was in the bush and the unit got what they called a “Sundry Pack” for every 30 grunts.

The first time I smoked one of those, I caught quite the buzz.

You want a buzz - bite a plug off of some Days Work or Black Mariah chewing tobacco ...The first time I smoked one of those, I caught quite the buzz.
Used to sell all of that stuff (along with various brands of Garrett and Bruton snuff) in the country store I worked in as a teenager - including pickled pig feet, pork brains in a can and souse!

And you're still here to talk about it!
My grandma lived into her mid 90's smoking 2 packs of Chesterfields every day until she was so senile she could not light them anymore. We used to say she was living proof that tobacco will extend your life.

'Back in the day,' walking to school with friends, whoever stepped on a Lucky Strike cigarette pack laying on the ground could shoulder punch whoever was in reach, say "Lucky Strike" and not get hit back. Looking back, I'm now amazed at how much trash was just laying around and we thought nothing of it.

I remember going to Saab in Sweden to do some work on a system in the test cell and at coffee break the engineers sat drinking a disgustingly strong tiny cup of coffee and putting Skoal bandit tobacco pouches in their mouths to suck or whatever it was they did with them.... I tried the coffee but had to spit it out in the sink and rinse out my mouth many times.....
The environmental test system I was working on was being used to test brackets for ancillaries on the engine of the soon to be released Saab 9000....
Skoal bandits were subsequently banned I believe due to the risks of mouth cancer!!!!

We were 3 siblings and fought over the sweetest ones. No one wanted the Bran Flakes

Sometime when you stop at a off-ramp look at the cigarette butts out your window, the stuff is still there
