“People drink more when drinking from a 2L bottle than when they drink from a can.”

Brilliant! You either get a Nobel Prize or a free kick to OP's ass for wasting our time. Your choice!

I also do more drugs when I have more drugs and do less drugs when I have less drugs.

Makes sense. There is actually very good research evidence that food portion size is also influenced by plate size. For obesity management, part of the strategy should be using a smaller food plate at home, though obviously it can't be a ridiculously small plate either, because you will keep refilling it then. I suppose cigarettes packs have a similar effect.

I highly suspect it works for most things including things like shampoo, cooking oil, glue, etc.

But it's interesting to prove it in this case which suggests there may be times that smaller packages (which mean more packaging waste) might be worth the trade off.

Jeez, mod. Touchy much? This place looks like the redacted Watergate papers.

No information in the press release if there was any differences in the cigarettes in the packs of 20 vs. the cigarettes in the packs of 25.

I'm not surprised, if always found that buying a pack of ten is a good way to limit yourself, buying 20 can make you feel you have a lot 'spare' so you're more likely to burn through them

I buy cigs by the carton so it's irrelevant.

Back when I was still buying cigarettes I would buy the small 72 size packs and tear them in half when I would smoke them. I think there might be a place for a company to make cigarettes like that scene in The Fifth element. A lot of us out there don't want a whole cigarette.

I'm hoping they start selling the Very Low Nicotine VLN smokes near me. I just quit, as I have done multiple times... I feel like when I eventually cave, it'd be nice to have an option that wasn't a leap back into it.
