They've come a long way baby....

The first pack of cigarettes I ever bought cost 40 cents. The last pack of cigarettes I bought cost a dollar. That wasn't the main reason I quit buying them, but I do remember a nickel seemed like a lot to pay for just one cigarette.

I went on a field trip with some buddies down to the Ohio River the other day, and made a stop at a Riverboat down in Lawrenceburg.

We walked by a cigarette vending machine on the way in, and I noticed that a pack of cigarettes cost $10.00. I'm sure you could buy them cheaper than that somewhere else, but I'm still glad I got out at a buck.

Probably should have done that at the blackjack table, too.
