So, guess what came in the mail today??  $ off coupons for Virginia Slims!!

[action]

I find it hard to comprehend that that's even allowed over there... Unbelievable!!

[Devil Doll]

Really? Over a freakin year.

I was always amazed that I would get coupons in the mail. I never signed up for anything, ever. They are sneaky bastards, aren't they.

[Doreensfree]

No way.......we havn,t had coupons for years.....

We used to have gifts for coupons......I used to smoke my self to near death for a nice lighter......go figure.....

[Humbled]

That is some messed up .....  You should send back a Note of being quit over a year - see if they send you coupons for something else instead. LOL

Yep they are. Certain areas in the US, mainly the Northern states, cigarettes cost 15+ dollars a pack. A lot of smokers were quitting when the cost started increasing. This is when they started upping the amounts of nicotine (not proven, yet, I am still researching) to keep people hooked. They also started coupon campaigns to make it easier for smokers to keep smoking. I don't know about Nancy's location but here where I am they are starting to implement the same tax increases on cigarettes that they have in the North. Big tobacco is probably panicking.

Camel was a big player in the couponing.  I would always get coupons from them.  I would also get coupons for snus.  Not even really sure what that is...but it seem to start to become popular when cigs went up in price.  I am just glad I am done with that...it is soooo nice.

I don't ever remember Marlboro Light 100's having coupons!!! Oh Wait.. They did on the pack for a while.  Yeah.. I saved em.  I can't imagine getting coupons in the mail now!!

OMG!!!!  That would be illegal here in Australia since it would be considered advertising which is banned for cigarettes!!!!

 

Nancy I want to smack them for you.
