“Smoking is cool, and nobody likes a quitter.”
Holy lung cancer, Batman!
You know what else is cool and won’t kill you in the process? Peeing your pants!
I’m assuming they put this at a place with a lot of kids. Gotta make the dolla.
Where did she find this machine?
I like it.
This is probably at the Vortex. Matches their attitude.
That’s p good NGL
These used to be commonplace like…30-35 years ago (eegads I almost said 20), and I figured it was a non-working one someone left out on display cause it is kinda neat but that sign sounds a lot newer than that. The Sacagawae dollars were only minted sporadically between ’00-12. So…I guess it *could* be twenty years old or newer.
EDIT: minted =! circulation, so yes it could still be more recent than that.
I bet the sign poster was wearing a red truckers hat.
Let me guess – the Vortex?
How the fuck, in year of our lord 2022, are cigarettes, and advertising them like this, still legal, but “we just aren’t that sure about that mar-i-juana drug”
Vortex? Flatiron? The Earl removed their cigarette machine a while back but this feels very Little 5/ East Atlanta.
Hell yeah bro
Smoking WAS cool. Like… In the 1960s
Found a way better use for these machines in Vegas:

Scattered all over the US and dispense $5 art pieces.
Little dive bar i went to had a cigarette machine, and on it was a handwritten sign that read:
“Yes, no shit – 9 dollars”
Surely, this can’t be real on a vending machine in 2022?
smoking is the *opposite* of cool
Wow…haven’t seen something like this since the 80’s. My mom used to send me to the store to buy her cigarettes when little. She’d write a check for a carton and there were no issues! Oh, the good days😆

I’m from Atlanta and it’s pretty common to still see these around town, especially in dive bars and pool halls. I moved out of state and the cigarette vending machine topic has come up a few times, people are always surprised to learn GA still has them.
You’re still allowed to smoke inside at a good number of dive bars in the metro Atlanta area too. Of course there’s plenty of non-smoking establishments, but the smoking dive bars are a cool vestige of the past. If you’re a smoker or can tolerate smoke, it’s always a fun experience to go to one
“Smoking is cool and nobody likes a quitter” wow that’s a pretty good catch phrase i think i am gonna buy a pack of marlbros
Started smoking at 10, Lucky Strike NF and Marlboro Red. I’m 38 now and beat my healthy/athletic kids (10/11) in a race. They destroyed me on the second race, but I was so surprised that I could pull that off. Lungs were good, but omfg my thigh muscles! I felt like someone beat my legs with a belt the next day! I’m warming up next time, that was too painful to make that mistake again.
remember the old vending machines with the pull knobs? they would often have them in the foyer of a restaurant.
A vending machine that still dispenses coffin nails? Thought that was a thing of the past
I think the point of this post is the sign not the machine.
People still use cash in 2022 ?!
Smoking is good? I live in France and on every cigarette package you have messages like “Smoking kills” etc with horrendous pictures
Meanwhile in Australia, we have pictures of disgusting necrotic organs and cancer patients on their death beds on our cigarette packets
*”Smoking is cool and nobody likes a quitter!”*
Cancer is even cooler, and your friends and family don’t give a fuck about you anyway if you die.
