Cigarette Case Keeps Account of Smokes Given to Friends
A novel cigarette case keeps tabs on the cigarettes your friends “borrow.” When you want a smoke yourself, press one button to open the case. But when an acquaintance “bums” a cigarette, press a second button. This not only opens the case but operates a counter built into the case.

  4. Maybe you only have one friend if you are a person feeling the need to keep tabs on things like this?

  5. You non-smokers crack me up.
    It lets you know how many cigarettes you have smoked to control your habit.

  6. Please do not ever let the Mafia get a hold of one of these… they’ll break kneecaps to make sure they are reimbursed for their smokes! XD
