So how much, exactly, are cigarettes going up in price?

[lildreamer316]

Husband smokes but not me. I'm having a hard time finding out info..so the gov. is increasing taxes, and so are the manufacturers? There are two separate increases, which means that cigs are already going up now, and on April 1st they'll go up more, right?? I'm confused. Can anyone point to a good information source? Thanks...

1. a carton of winstons went up 10 bucks in colorado

eta: that second statement was made as a general statement and not to you personally

2. 10 dollars a pack in NYC. nt

[Roon]

11. 10.00 a pack...

and I bet people at the bus stop still have the audacity to try and bum a smoke.

[Genevieve]

14. I get stopped all the time.

[Roon]

17. I am not surprised at all..

i am so glad that i quit...I still get hassled for money but when the moochers see you a smoke they will target you for a cigarette.

3. As of today, they are now $4.29 a pack

here in Georgia. I usually buy a carton at the Quik Trip gas station. But today, I only bought one pack at Kroger until I get to the gas station in the morning. Usually, a carton would run about $28 to $30. Don't know what it will cost me when I stop at the Quik Trip tomorrow morning. I suspect about $35 to $40 for a carton.

4. I don't smoke but out od curiosity

I remember a big deal a few years ago about buying cigarettes online from Indian reservations. At that time since they were 'sovereign' they did not charge taxes. Does that still hold?

[hippywife]

6. I buy them at the Indian smoke shops here in OK.

They went from $3.50/pk to $4.25 the other day. That's the only way I buy them because I really want to quit so I don't keep cartons around.

5. It's about $7.50 a pack here..... nt

7. Went up $1.50 last week in MA (state increase)

Now $8.50/pack and that doesn't include the coming fed increase.

We're going to NH from now on.

9. how much are they in Beautiful tax free nh?

i paid $4.79 for a pack at Walgreens yesterday, at the gas station they always cost more here.

[sniffa]

10. Depending on where you go

they're around $5/pack. It used to be under 5 but after the last fed increase a few years ago I think it went up to about $5.40.

Bi-Baby's in Greenfield right now and she's going to cross the border to pick up a few cartons.

When I started smoking in the mid-90's it cost $2.25 a pack. Prior to buying packs I used to buy 4 loosies for a dollar a day. The store got busted for that so I had to start buying packs.

8. I stopped caring when they went to 50 cents a pack

that was too much money....

12. how hard is it to cure tobacco?

eventually it might be cost saving to grow your own and cure it, if there was a way to cure it quicker

[Broken_Hero]

[madrchsod]

15. northern illinois --- 50 a carton +tax for newports...

55+tax for the dead cowboy brand.

[SPKrazy]

16. $10 a pack

18. Holy shit!

I quit almost 4 years ago after 20 years of smoking, and my pack of Camel Ultra Lights cost (if I remember) a little under 3 bucks a pack. If I still smoked now, I might consider the geners, what are they called, Dorals or something?

[Bryn]

20. My Doral brand went up from normal 2.73 to 4.00 here in Arkansas last week

This doesn't include Federal raise due in April! I am looking into e-cigarettes now.
