I grew up in North Carolina in the late 1980's. There was tobacco all around and I knew many classmates that picked tobacco from at least age 14. Some people in the thread are remembering their own experiences fondly. I can't remember any of my friends saying anything positive about picking tobacco. I don't think they made much money either. As for not being able to buy cigarettes, everyone I knew that wanted to smoke could get cigarettes. We had a lot of hotels in town and they all had cigarette vending machines where you just insert your money and get a pack. No cashier and no age verification of any kind. https://poserworld.com/70s-era-vintage-cigarette-vending-machine https://poserworld.com/70s-era-vintage-cigarette-vending-mac...
