[QUOTE="john250, post: 674351, member: 4406"] The Soviets, in the mid 80's, were unable to supply enough cigarettes. There were riots, although we didn't hear much about them. I was a tobacco farmer, and one year our quota (amount we could sell) was increased 25% after years of reductions. The reason was that Philip Morris had an order for 250 billion cigs from the USSR. That is how I heard about the riots. If a police state like the old Soviet Union had cigarette riots and felt compelled to satisfy the people, you know it must have been serious. I guess smokers just need to break some windows. :cowboy: [/QUOTE]
