I have never smoked and frankly I pay about as much attention to cigarettes as I do earth worms. But, I noticed this week that a pack of smokes is about $6.00. That is just insane. It could not take more than $.75 to produce them.

Pack a day math
$6.00 x 365 days = $2,190 a year. (YIKES)

Federal taxes are over a dollar a pack, state taxes can range as high as $4/pack (NY).

Government makes much more money off of cigarettes than manufacturers do.

Actual cost is about $1/pack counting tobacco company profit.
