I remember that phrase from my days in the military.
Cigarettes sold for 20¢ a pack at the base exchange.
Big Tobacco and the military had a very cozy arrangement from the World War I era forward -- thus ensuring a steady stream of new customers. If you weren't a smoker when you were drafted/enlisted, it was a near-certainty that you'd be one when you were discharged.
