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.

My wife smokes. It is THE one thing I despise in our marriage, but I knew it going in. Marlboro Ultra Light 100s (a female cigarette if there ever was one) average $4.50 a pack here in Columbus.

I switched to King Edward Little Cigars.
They are less than $1.00 a pack buying them by the carton.

> I was just reading an article that referenced “sin taxes” cigarettes being one...Well, Many years ago, I used to smoke..and the last time I bought a pack of cigarettes, they cost $1.50 a pack. I was wondering if anyone knew offhand, what they are currently going for?

In New Zealand, $12.70 last time I checked.

FWIW: I can pick up a pack of Korean (Life) cigarettes for about $2.00. The military got me hooked on them and I paid ten cents a pack for unfiltered Camels/Ninety Cents for a carton. Smoked them for 50 + years and quit 4 years ago.

Yeeeouch! Looks like it was a good thing for my wallet as well as my health that I quit when I did. At about 5 pks a week, it boggles my mind the amount of money I would have spent over the last 15 years, over and above the $1.50pk I was paying.

Sure hope I spent my savings well. ;o)

And, my Australian friend...Was that in USD? Cherish those smokes mate...or maybe it’s time to start chewing gum. :)

FYI, A can of Copenhagen is going for almost 5.00 here in Kansas.

Fortunately I kicked that habit a few years back, which BTW was the hardest thing I ever did in my life.
