Holy crap!

I bought my first pack of (purchased) cigarettes at the age of 9 from a vending machine for $0.25, and got a new penny inside the celphane wrapper for change.

What is this world coming to?

I guess pretty soon, we'll be conducting Twinky stings with fat people as the operatives at taxpayer expense.

"What is this world coming to?"

I wonder that on a daily basis. I was on another thread awhile ago, someone mentioned making ashtrays in school.
I made a couple of those, and built a .54 cal. Hawken rifle in shop class. (with Thompson parts)

Can you imagine doing that today? And ,heck I'm not that old. I started chewing snuff pretty young.But the secret police weren't prowling the streets then, either.

They were $0.28 when I bought my first pack at the age of 11.

Four of us would chip in.

I could go on, but I died at the age of 30 from smoking. Just ask any smoking Nazi.
