You know, that's an excellent question! My guess is that they won't since they won't be making a little extra money from the cigarette vending machines to offset the cost of the complimentary matches.
That's the one thing that I've always hated about being a non-smoker. No 9:30 or other cool matches. But I will admit that a couple times I did take a pack just to use at home for candles. You have to admit, it's so much cooler to have a pack of 9:30 matches laying on your coffee table rather than those ugly generic discount matches you buy in the stores. Even then, they still advertise their crap store. Even though I'm not a smoker, I'm still inadvertantly advertising the club with the match pack laying by a candle. People like me just use much less of them.
Hopefully, they will still have them as a kind of a token business card since it does help to advertise the club regardless of how they are used. If worse comes to worse, maybe they will sell whole boxes of them at the mech stand; hopefully, at a very reasonable price if we end up having to pay for them. Complimentary would be even better since I know you can write them off your taxes as an advertising expense. Something to think about Seth.
