I grew up in east Tennessee, almost all the young men in my generation smoked. I started picking up butts on the side of the road and smoking them when I was 10 or 11, by the time I was 16 I was a pack a day smoker.
Back then there were cigarette machines everywhere and this where all us underage guys bought our smokes. When I was 16 a pack cost 25 cents. One day they raised the price to the absurd level of 27cents a pack. You would put 30 cents in the machine, it didn't make change, there would be three pennies change packaged inside the cellophane of a pack. Bet some of you young guys couldn't imagine that.
Anyway, 27 cents for a pack of smokes, totally outrageous. I got so mad about the price increase I quit buying them and actually quit smoking over a 2 cent jump in price. Believe it or not, that was a huge price increase at the time. I saw gas for sale at 17cents a gallon during the same time frame.

Damn you are an Old One ...Eric......... :P..I remember Premium Gas at $.36 a Gallon....Milk was $1.15 a Gallon...and a pack of Smokes was $.30 a pack...and about $2.95 a Carton....and I am 52.........but then Tennessee has about the Lowest Excise Tax on Cigarettes in the USA.....$.20 a Pack...compared to Michigan's $2.00 a pack....and Texas' $1.65 a Pack..... :o

I just saw this thread. I just quit dipping about 3 weeks ago. Got me some mint snuff and that really helps. It was hard about the first week but now its not to bad. But as El D said if I smell Cope it makes me want to dip. But I dont because I am done. No relapses here.
