Oh man, was just at 7-11 and the guy in front of me paid $10.63 for a pack of American Spirits. He was visibly shocked at the high price. He paid up, of course but I don't think I've ever been so happy to be rid of the analogs. Lol
Cost of a pack of smokes in your area?

Yep, NY is basically $10 to $12 . And I was smoking about 2 pad -crazy!
I learned only after I quit analogs that there were cheaper methods in shops where you roll your own using their machines, but apparently the city just shut these down too. All about the tax dollars.
If I was still smoking my only cheaper source would be to drive to an indian reservation about 1 1/2 hours away and buy their generic packs. But with gas prices, that's becoming a burden tool. Our country needs change!!!
Soooo glad I am finally done with it!

You could get cheaper cigs on the reserves here too....but only if u were native....so you had to suck up to someone lol. And even then, they started limiting how many cartons a person could buy. Always putting the screws to smokers... Geesh. Glad I'm not one anymore. (hopefully e cigs will continue to be cost effective)
Here in BC there is 20 per pack and range from $8 -$12 depending on brand and where you buy. I WAS at 2 packs per day
I think they're around $5-$6 for a pack here in East Bay (SF Bay Area). I don't really pay much attention to the prices anymore. When I quit back i August 2010 I was paying just a hair over $50 for a carton.
I remember getting packs of crappy cigarettes for $1-$2 each back when I first started smoking. All of us were under 18 then and I looked the oldest so I'd have to try and get them for us.

I'm one of those people who rolled my own -- had a tube-stuffer machine, I'd buy "cartons" of empty cigarette filter tubes and then fill them with my own tobacco. All in all, a pound of tobacco + 3 "cartons" of filter tubes ran me around $20-25, so long as I did mail order. If I got tobacco locally... well, more than double that. Last time I bought a pound of loose tobacco locally I winced, and started ordering bulk from elsewhere.
This is why I still have about two pounds of (now stale) tobacco sitting around my house.
But a 20-count pack of cigs in southern California's somewhere around 5-6 bucks, my packs cost me about 2 bucks. Now, if I could just stop buying juice and go DIY, I might be able to "save money" again... but at the moment, vaping costs me more than smoking did.
Tastes better, too. I can deal.
