They were probably using like 50% nicotine extract because they hadn't thought to dilute it down to around 1% like we do now.

Cash only here in Colorado too. They always have an ATM in the building but you have to hand over cash.
I've been to one where you can pay with a card by handing them the card, but it will still be run as an ATM transaction. They have you enter your PIN on a PIN pad, round it up to the nearest $20, and give you change in cash even though you paid with a card. And there's still ATM fees. It was a weird round-about way of letting customers pay with a card while getting around the banking ban.
Far more often it's just an ordinary ATM sitting there.

It's required to export to some countries, including the US. That's why you see "made in China" on so many things. They aren't being patriotic or proud, it's just a requirement of customs.
