Buying cigs for 50 cent a pack.

Yes again to all of the above. That last one had me LMAO.... I'm a non-smoker, but back in those days in Brooklyn NY where I grew up, my dad & mom would often send me to the stores up the street to buy stuff for them and cigs & beer were on the shopping list. I was maybe 9~12 years old, and the corner store guy would sell me whatever I asked for without question. Sad but you can't send your kid to do that anymore in today's "gov't knows best" nanny welfare state!
