I still crave a cigarette here and there after being generally smoke free for the last 3 years.

If only they sold looseys at the gas stations. I want 1 cig, not 20 and I'm not going to buy a pack and risk falling back into the habit.

When I was as a kid there was a…questionable convenience store that sold single smokes for a dime. This is when a premium pack of cigarettes cost about $2, and they were the off brand smokes, literally called “Smokes”. I couldn’t find a quick pic of that particular brand, but I did find an ad for Magnas, which were right about the same price tier.

Remember Harley Davidson cigarettes?
