Hey, if you must smoke, then get something positive out of the process. Here are ways to reused Cigarette boxes.
- First Aid Kit: stock it with several type band bandaids, Acetaminophen in a tiny bit of Saran Wrap, four small packets of germ killing lotions, a packed moist towelette, a thick rubber band, a few cotton balls wrapped and a clean wrapped razor blade. You can store these in your fishing tackle box, glove compartment or in your travel suitcase.
- Help you stop smoking: Fill your flip top box up with gum, wrapped candy or lozenges.
- A place to put your passes or ride tickets at an amusement park
- A place to keep you toll fares handy

Mr. Thrifty, you've GOT IT. Although I've never smoked, I find LOTS of used cigarette CASES in garage sales for 25-50 cents, and boxes tossed on curbs. I can now transfer from cellophane to protective coverings..for CHEAP or FREE. Change is a problem to store for me. Wallets never have enough room, and the coin carriers are usually limited. With as little makeup as I use anymore, those CASES would just about handle the two compacts and chapstick nicely. The boxes might give my 8 yr old grandson some "ideas" that Gammy might smoke or condone smoking, so I'll stick to the cheap harder CASES your suggestion brought to mind.
Any list for all those used sunglass cases we all have accumulated, especially the ones with no snap or closures? I have quite a few, have given many away, but would be interested in recycling them properly. I wear RX glasses now, so I have no need for several cases of ANY sort for glasses as they were intended. I've used them for pens/pencils, receipts, combs, stamps, school photos, manicure tools, playing cards, temporary first aid when needing bandaids, tiny address books/calculators/business cards, and film storage. Any OTHER or BETTER uses for them?
God bless you for sharing these ideas with us!
