Didn’t even need to use the machines, because most people didn’t care. When I wanted to walk to the store in my teens, my mother would give me extra money to pick up cigarettes for her. Cashiers always sold them to me, no problem.
Yep, I witnessed a mom send her 7-year-old child to the corner store with a permission note to buy cigarettes in 1984.
