My older brother would send me (age <10) to the gas station to get him cigs out of the machine - with a note saying they were for him. No underage sales and all. No one would even blink, much less look at the note!

For the younger generation who may not know what you're talking about.

I remember when you would put .20cents in the machine and it would dispense a pack of cigs with two pennies under the cellophane. I have no idea what the cost is today but I bet you don't get any change under the cellophane. LOL

I remember going to the store for cigarettes for Mom and getting an extra 20 cents to get a soda AND a candy bar! Actually,I think the change was 20 cents,from a dollar, and she'd let me use it for sweets!
