The Tobacco People in Pool Halls
Well I went to shoot in my pool league last night. While I was sitting there and watching my teammates play in their games, a lovely lady that was tall and had long blonde hair came over to me and asked if I smoked. I figured she needed a cigarette or a light from me, but it turns out she was a representative of a tobacco company. She asked if I was over 21 years old and for me to get my drivers license out. She had a little laptop computer looking thing she was carrying around with her and it made a copy of my drivers license and I also had to sign the monitor that was on the screen. In my efforts for doing this I received coupons to get a new type of cigarette their company has recently came out with, I also got a coupon that gives me 4 free cans of snuff and another coupon that is a buy one get one free for a can of snuff. I also was given a roll of snuff that has 5 full sized cans in it and got all of this by just letting them make a copy of my driver’s license. I don’t dip snuff, but I have several friends that do and I should be able to make a couple of them very happy. Tobacco products are very expensive these days and with gas prices continuing to go up, this will only cause the price to go up more. I can remember when a pack of cigarettes or a can of snuff was like 99 cents. It now cost about $3.50 to buy one of these products now. If you are someone that uses a tobacco product, you might want to keep your eyes out for the women coming around to the pool halls and bars giving away this merchandise. It’s a good way for them to promote their new products and it’s a good way for us to get some free stuff. If you want to quit smoking or stop dipping snuff, now would be a good time to do that, as the prices continue to go up on all tobacco products.
