Cigarettes in Socks

[whoatherechunk]

Is there a story behind people putting their packs of cigarettes in their socks? I don't get why people do it unless they are w/o pockets haha. Thanks.

Came from the military, a pack of smokes in your shirt pocket messes up the look of the uniform, so we carried our smokes in our socks.

I've seen a pack of cigarettes rolled up in someone's sleeve, but never in someone's sock.

I used to keep small stuff in the rolls on my BDU sleeves.

Yup, when I was in (70's) the fatigues weren't as loose fitting and most of the time we wore the kahki uniform for daily work, and officers didn't like smokes, pens, etc... in shirt pockets.

Lets say you have one cigarette left.

Put in you pocket with your keys and lighter....

stick your hand in. ooppsssssss it broke.

Put it in your sock. Cool... not broke............. LoL

I'm sure putting a single cigarette in your sock would surely break it.

Nah it doesn't, especially if they're long socks.

[TheDarkReaver]

I was just thinking normal socks, I suppose long socks would work better.

Back in the day, in the hood, people would do that so others couldn't see you had smokes, and wouldn't ask to bum one.

Its just another form of flavoured tobacco.

"Its just another form of flavoured tobacco."

Yep, the brand new Marlboro "cheese and onion"

"officers didn't like smokes, pens, etc... in shirt pockets."

Same in German "Bundeswehr" when I was there (1982/83)..

I thought one did it to hide the package. That is where I hide stuff containing nicotine anyway. It's amazing what you learn from watching Prison Break.

That is the exact same reason why I carry fresh goat hearts in my socks.

We used to in Jr. High just because the VP was a big "C" and having us empty our pockets every other day and searching our lockers looking for drugs.
god just because a group of kids likes drawing pot leaves and reenacting cheech and chong skits does not mean they are on dope.

You put them in your socks because when you bend over to get them you are in the perfect position for the tobacco companies, cancer and COPD.

^ obvious believer in the anti tobacco propaganda machine. You obviously forgot that no one without a cigarette in their mouth or tucked behind their strings ever looked cool on stage, if at all.
