I know. I just know as a smoker myself, if I was in a survival situation I would definately need a puff of nicotine. Bad habit I know

IIRC, the Greek army used to include supplementary cigarette packs with there rations, I think they were just normal civvie packs though.

Cigarettes in rations? Yeah, right after they return condoms and corkscrews.

Reading WWII history I have to wonder if we would have won had they not kept our guys supplied with an enormous, steady stream of smokes.

As an aside, I'm reading Anthony Beevor's book about the Ardennes offensive now, and he starts by describing the situation between the Normandy invasion and the late Fall of 1944. Some of our guys discovered a juicy black market for misappropriated supplies in France. It got so bad that up to 63 million packs of American cigarettes were being stolen from the supply chain each month for sale to civilians.

Gas, rations, coffee were also worth their weight in gold. A guy with a case of 10 in 1s could have just about anything he wanted in Paris,

I have 12 MREs for emergencies. I duct taped a pack of Camels or Marlboro Red with each.

Adds something I think was missing!
