Well, I remember 0.79 a pack in '81. Oh you kids. I remember $.25 per pack about 1958 and that's out of a machine, cheaper if you bought them in a store.
Hey, somebody is sure to come along and call me a whippersnapper!

Well, since I came to the United States in '81, claiming earlier memories in the US would be clintorrhoidal or kerryesque on my part.

I was already out of highschool in 58? Can I call you a whippersnapper?

Yep, I remember my mom handing me a quarter and asking me to run up
to the corner store for a pack of smokes ... "and don't forget the change."

Remember the shockwaves sent around the country when cigarettes went to 35 cents a pack?
