Can you say propaganda? I wonder what the sales figures were for the last quarters of 2013 and 2014. During the last quarter of 2014, people were hoarding cigarettes in anticipation of the price increase. I certainly know people who did and didn’t buy many during the first quarter of 2015.

That is gunna put a bummer on Song Chang Sik’s 1986 classic song “Cigarette Store Girl” 담배가게아가씨

This is one of the great covers many Koreans have done to the classic.
