They were $1.95 a pack. I remember when they went to $2.05 and we were all ...... because we had to bring change with instead of just 2 dollars...
85 cents. Within a few months they jumped to $1.10, then $1.15. I know how you feel, Atom!
early eighties in NY state about 1.75. Current Govenor has raised average price to $10.20. Not only is vaping better but here in NY we save big $$$$$. That is until they figure out how to tax it!!!!
When I started they were about .35 a pack, I think. Can't remember back that far LOL When I turned 18, my dad would send me to the store for a carton of Pall Mall reds with a $5 bill and I got 3 quarters back and that was in 1977. We used to go across the bridge or tunnel to Canada (sometimes) to get our smokes because they were cheaper there!
OMG! I remember that too! My hubby's neighbor was one of those people who passed them out. Well, he didn't really pass them out, 'cause my hubby and the gang would have garbage bags full of half packs!
Just like everyone else, I cannot stand without a cigarette in my hand for more than an hour. Moderately smoke around half a pack a day for 9 years. It it is ridiculous that I have to make time for a stupid cigarette break, thanks to my little PV, I manage to quit smoking and not purchasing tobacco product in couple month, perfect that I did it before winter time because those breaks sucks.
In 1976 when I started smoking they were .45 cents for the first pack I ever bought, the last pack I ever bought in Jan 2010 were $8.65 and now they are $10.85, not sure what gas was because I couldn't drive then, but I think it was about .50 a gallon and I'm not 50 yet. Thank goodness I had a job, so my parents were never the wiser about spending lunch money, lol
free because i was only 8 years old when i started 
and stole them off my mom,she would buy cartons of cigs for $12, now im 19 and we are smoking pipe tobacco rolled in a cigarette tube,its wicked nasty! and makes you feel sick. (cant wait to get my ecig next month)

buck 25. and I remember my mom saying as she bought her weekly carton at CVS, $5.99??!!!! well, when they get to $7 I'm quitting. She died when they were $46/carton. So I guess she quit when they were $4.60.

As best I can remember they were $.35 or so a pack in 1966 when I first bought 'em. Gasoline was still cheaper per gallon. In '72 there was a small gas war here. One station was selling it for $.19. By then cigs were about $.50 a pack and people were in a huff swearing to quit if they went any higher. That didn't happen.
Back in '85 or so when I started, they were surprisingly expensive. My first pack cost me my soul.
