The guy who plows are driveway is coming by later. My mom doesn't think he smokes (chews instead), but I'm seriously tempted to give him a twenty to go and pick me up a pack.

yep, it's really expensive. they raised the prices a lot in the past few years, theoretically as a deterrent. i don't think that's going to deter anyone who REALLY wants to smoke, but combined with a lot of rather prominent anti-smoking campaigns and a general shift in the zeitgeist smokers are now suprisingly almost a minority. i used to not know anybody who didn't smoke (except for myself, before i started) ; now, i hardly know anybody who *does* smoke.
