I can only see one issue with the story.
Considering the release year of the Megadrive, which I note your mum was in the process of inventing, and the price of cigarettes at the time, the more realistic price for an individual fag at the time of the story would have been 13-14p. Otherwise the newsagent would have been making a small loss on each one sold.

I didn't say it had been released
It wasn't invented in a day.
