well, i was just trying to add a zany aspect to a legitimate idea. I would gladly buy a pack with a few cigarettes. What am i going to do with 20 cigarettes? I don't smoke that much, and the pack is too big and too bulky. (sooo 1950's)
I'd like to buy a pack of 2, (maybe 5) smoke one and share
one, toss the mess, and go on about my bees wax.
It would seem a GREAT marketing ploy. and it would get a lot of us quitters back on the habit. (cough cough)
So there it is... a packet of 2 or 5 cigarettes. You could charge a LOT more per cigarette, and America certainly needs the dollars. Well Euros. Since not even organized crime will take Dollars these days. <link>

That's what bumming is about. Just stand at a corner of a busy pedestrian intersection and ask strangers for a smoke. You'll soon have as many or few as you wish. |

I like the idea...reminds me of the old "C Ration" packet of...um...I can't recall...I think it was five smokes in a pack..might have been four. and you got a variety to ry them all. |

Wne I was a smoker and ran out among strangers, I would go up to someone and say, "Hey, have you got a light, please?" And the person would automatically flip out a book of matches or ligher...and then see I had no cigarette...They would then say, "Well, where's your cigarette?" And I would smile and say, "Gee, I was hoping you might spring for that, too. It would be a shame to waste such a good light." |

They would laugh a bit and pull out the pack and shake one out." |

Back in the "(g)olden days" of flying, airlines gave out free packs of cigarettes to smokers on their flights. They were a thin pack that held 5 cigarettes. That way, you could enjoy a post-meal cigarette. Then, you could sit in the lounge in the back of the plane and play a game of cards, given free to passengers requesting them. |

Hey Blisterbob... I was wondering if you might have a match so I could light my barbeque. And it would be a shame to waste this nice fire, so do you have any extra sirloins? |
