The increase would effectively drive up the over-the-counter price for a pack of premium cigarettes like Marlboro from $4.19 to $5.19.

This is wrong.  Back in 2001 when Maine raised the cigarette taxes I had to pay $45-$50 for a carton of More Menthol cigarettes.   Now, with this additional tax of $1.00 on one pack, that is $10 more dollars for taxes on one carton.

That would put More's or Premiums at $55 to $60 dollars for a carton which holds 10 packs.
