It depends on the state and local taxes but I’m paying about $3.50 a pack for super cheap cigs. Name brands can run over $4.50 a pack. I understand that MO is one of the cheapest places to get cigs. There are signs on the highway when you cross into IL warning of fines and imprisonment for “ciggarette smuggling”. My prefered brand is Lucky Strike non-filter but they are about $40.00 a carton at the discount places. My sister pays around $7.00 a pack for name brand where she lives in Maine.

I don’t smoke, but a Google search yielded this at $13.99 a carton:

I quit a few years ago, but wow prices have really gone up. I remember being stunned back in 1968 when I was at Disneyland and saw that they had raised the prices on the cigarette machines there to 50 cents a pack. That was when most places still sold them for 25 or 30 cents a pack.

I've crossed that line frequently for 40 years and have not seen it.
