Needs more cigarettes; In hands, on the ground, in the kids hair. They were everywhere.

Edited: I'm not great with grammar whilst inebriated. Cheers.

Yeah the street gutters used to be full of butts. They were flattened all over the sidewalk.

They used to have cigarette vending machines. An underage person could buy cigarettes from a machine, because it had no way to check your age.

Didn’t even need to use the machines, because most people didn’t care. When I wanted to walk to the store in my teens, my mother would give me extra money to pick up cigarettes for her. Cashiers always sold them to me, no problem.

In hands on the ground in the kids hair.

I feel like there's a typo here, but 7 people have upvoted you so far so maybe I'm missing something.

Edit: Ohh, you meant that the cigarettes should be "in hands, on the ground, in the kid's hair." (Which is true.)
