the cost of a pack of cigarettes in 1979 was about 35 cents, I don’t know what it is now, but the rest is all tax and lawsuits.
Well, now in NV, a single pack is around $6.85. I used to get them at the ships store for about 25 cents in the early 70’s. Cheaper at sea. JoeProBono had a pictorial on this thread of cost break down. I may have to start ordering them online again.
