I was putting gas in my car yesterday and I noticed a sign advertising the price of a pack of Marlboro cigarettes. They were $10 a pack. I don't smoke so I don't pay much attention to those prices but this is the first I have seen of $10 a pack. I have noticed $9.50 or so for a while here in Western New York. How much is a pack of cigarettes in your town and were is that? I can't imagine how much of that is tax. I am also pretty sure that doesn't include the sales tax.

I don't smoke anymore, but in Missouri a pack of Marlboros will run about 4.90 before sales tax.

Don't really keep up with it but sometimes see the ads and laugh at smokers.

should be plenty of emphasis, for anyone, to stop smoking.

my job puts me in retail establishments all day. I see people buying a carton at WAWA for 80+ dollars and I can't believe they choose to trap themselves with a habit that not only cost so much but is so bad for them. I had a neighbor that always complained that he was always broke. I told him if he and his wife quit there 5 pack a day habit that would be enough for a car payment at 7 bucks a pack. he laughed at me said I was crazy. I said 7dollars times 5 a day times 7 a week x 4 weeks a month.
He did not believe me I did the math in front of him and it was $980.00 a month. His wife was 2 packs a day he was 2 packs a day and he bought his teenage daughter 1 pack a day. He couldn't believe that it cost that much. I wondered how someone could spend that much money and not realize it , I see the same with scratch off lottery tickets. People spend 60 to 100 a day on scratch offs. 20 dollar tickets and they buy them 2-3 a time every day. But they are the people who think we are nuts shooting a rifle at a buck a shot. J.Michael

I roll my own for $1.00 a pack. I quit buying storeboughts when they passed $2.25.

I quit when they hit a buck a pack. I can't imagine affording them now. A friend rolls his own and told me that you actually get a much cleaner cigarette, with fewer chemicals if you roll your own, and that the taxes are less on bulk tobacco than for pre-made cigarettes.

I use fresh North Carolina terbacky with no addatives. El-cheapo storeboughts are imports with Lord only knows what in them, and they still cost over $5.00 a pack.

when a pack of cigarettes went from 30 cents to 35 cents in a machine and that is when I quit. Sure glad I did.

There are plenty of reservations around western NY to get cigarettes cheaper so alot of people probably don't pay $10 a pack. Everyone I know smokes Seneca's from the Indians. They are cheap and smell like it when they are smoking them!!!!

I quit 10 years ago and me and my wife said we would never smoke cheap cigarettes. I liked Marlboro and that is what I always would smoke. The only time I miss it now is turkey hunting first thing in the AM waiting for the first bird to fire off.

I ordered NY reservation smokes for years. Then the feds passed a law outlawing shipment of cigarettes through the post office, or UPS/FEDEX. Last time I checked the web sites they were $2.50 a pack and up.

Even at $5 a pack, I still feel bad for those folks who smoke. It is their health and their choice to smoke. They shouldn't be taxed into or out of making a choice. The government gave them the info on the health risks. It is up to the end user to do with that information as they see fit.

they have for the past 2 or 3 decades. It's the RJ Reynolds Science Camp, or some such, and kids try hard to get into it every summer. It's their way of trying to put a good face on the cigarette industry.
