The U.S. banned tobacco vending machines on June 29, 2010 except in places for adults only. Tobacco vending machines are banned in most First World countries.
...when I was in college studying horticulture a man from FTD came to our marketing class. I will never forget him saying that he went into a drug store to buy a pack of cigarettes and on his way out he stopped to buy a pack from a machine by the door. He turn to the clerk and said, "when you buy from the machine it lights up!" Thanks for for sharing this flash from the past.
Old cigarette machine I never smoked but remember seeing the machines. I think some people n our country think because of what is happening in our politics that socialism or communism is what some are heading
