Abstract: A cigarette dispenser which dispenses cigarettes one at a time through a dispensing opening. The dispenser includes a rotatable magazine having a plurality of cigarette-loaded chambers slideably and rotatably received within a housing. The housing includes an opening adapted to be aligned with one of the chambers during a predetermined time interval determined by the period of operation of a spring motor in the housing cover, which rotates the magazine to sequentially align one of the cigarette chambers with the dispensing opening. In this manner, cigarettes are rationed by the dispenser to dissuade smoking frequency.
