Who remembers these vending machines?

[humanearth]

I thought they were illegal here, but I saw one today at a bar

[matchrestore]

In my state they are still legal if the establishment checks IDs at the door. Even then you don't see to many, but there's a dive bar in my neighborhood that has one.

[888theGreat]

I do, but age requirements killed them

[SandandWaves]

I remember those in the sports bars... next to the juke box, last seen in my 20's

[SandandWaves]

thanks

[Sour-rose]

Well thank you for telling me that I'm still a kid, thank you. <3

[DaveToo]

Who remembers before they had these vending machines?

[humanearth]

They would have to be born in 1919 when the first one was made

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As for me I worked in a restaurant along time ago that had one & they had to remove it or get fined & shutdown.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Remember? That's how bought my cigarettes when I was a teenager. . They use to have those in most restaurants, bars, bowling alley, etc. or the "note from the parents" (remember that?) Lol

[humanearth]

And smoke half the pack on the way home to

[andreasderjuengere]

Oh yeah! :) There even was cigarettes advertising on TV, heh heh.

[Likes2drive]

Yeah I remember them, I got a pack of cigarettes for 75 cents out of it but I don’t smoke so I gave it to my younger brother

[Levin]

Well, given I didn't grow up in 1930s America, no I do not...

[Pudsmucker]

They are illegal here in the United States. I do recall seeing them in Europe. Europe I've also remember seeing vending machines for beer.

[humanearth]

Then that bar might be breaking a federal law

[CuriousMufuxka]

Well not exactly those, but I do remember cigarette vending machines! Wild at least one is still around lol.

[OlderAndWiser]

I certainly remember them!

[EnglishEuropean]

I guess if you're in a bar you're assumed to be an adult?

[Anonymous]

You can still find modern ones in many office break rooms.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yes. And The Blues Brothers.

[josephinelcajon]

I was often sent to get a pack no one ever cared!

[exitseven]

I have not seen a cigarette machine in years.

[bayoubob]

At a pool hall. 20 years ago though.

[Iron_Man]

I’ve seen them before

[notwoke]

[UniquelyBasic]

Uhhh what the heck.

[humanearth]

Yes, back when I was young. These cigarette machines were everywhere. Anyone of any age could buy a pack of smokes

[Anonymous]
