I’m not getting something here. 77 million cigarettes divided by 8 million dollars equals $9.63 per cigarette.

What am I missing here?

By my calculations $8 mil divided by 77 million cigarettes equals $0.10 per cigarette or $2/pack. How much is a pack of smokes going for in new York these days?

Holy cow, I’m an idiot!! Many people on this site have long suspected this. Suspicions confirmed!

I divided 77 mil by 8 mil instead of vice-versa.

$2/pack. How much is a pack of smokes going for in new York these days?

It's about $5/pack in the People's Republic of California. I think it's more than double that in New York.
