Most countries give their soldiers tobacco products, cigars or cigarettes, as part of their combat rations. This was most notable during WW1 and WW2, when ration tobacco production ramped up massively. After both of these conflicts the Oceanykan market was filled with cheap tobacco products from all over the world, courtesy of the end of hostilities. Even now ration tobacco is produced for the soldiers of certain factions that can afford it, such as the republics of Sydney or Cestlep. Ration tobacco is a popular low cost product, but their nature as a wartime relief makes them somewhat distasteful and only just tolerable.
