I heard cigarettes are going for $50 a pack in Iraq. Is that true?

Don't know, but shipments of supplies should contain tobacco, bringing the prices back down...it is a little like jail, though, with scarce items becoming "currency"...Poor fellows. I don't smoke, but I remember when my military father did...and it would have been difficult to go without them during times of stress.

Yah I think the smokes should've been delivered on the cargo plane that landed at Baghdad International.
