Okay... I just called a Convenient Mart in his area. Marlboro = $7.98 per pk. The lowest price generic brand is $6.11 per pk.
Yet again, my cousin is full of s***! I kid you not... he lies so easily, he should run for POTUS. He didn't want me to know that he's spending over $6.00 per pk, so he lied about the pricing.

cigarette bulls are sometimes called "freedom smokes", why $1.5 per pack tho? he buys them from homeless dudes?
Yup. In my last 3 or so years of smoking, I was smoking "generics" and RYO. Generics were usually about $2 less than name brands. Still expensive but saved me about $150/mo. RYO on the other hand was very cheap as it wasn't taxed as high as prefabricated cigs are. I don't know if they upped the tax on RYO these days though. I know it was being talked about at the time.
If you could get prefabricated cigarettes for $1.50, less people would quit, I guarantee it lol
They don't. In places where a pack of smokes costs $7.00, roughly half (and possibly a bit more) of that is federal and state taxes.
It will take at least 80 years before vape will replace all of cigarette,that’s my 2 cent
I want to see a min. price for cigs in UK around £20
The more expensive they'll get, the faster people will quit/switch.
It won't be fun anymore for kids to start smoking.

Camel regulars are just shy of $10 in MD, I don't know why they charge 2 extra bucks. Maybe they actually use good tobacco in them. I went back to smoking after 20 years but thanks to my vape, I gave it up again 
It's $13 USD in NYC, so it's close...In the UK a pack of 20 cigarettes costs around $15.50 USD (£12 GBP) of which about 80% is tax.
When I quit they 10 years ago they were just about to hit £5, this being so expensive as to be a major factor in my starting vaping.
US prices don't seem so bad now by comparison, yes?
Some have tried this type of Social Experiment as a way to drive down Cigarette sales.
This is what happens...
High taxes and limited enforcement have New York City awash in illegal booze and cigarettes
of course this shouldn't be the only measure to prevent ppl(esp.kids) from smoking.
But still, many ppl will stop if it will not be freely available (and cheap enough to have fun with).
If they'd know it's from the black market, it will prevent a lot of them from trying.
In the UK, all slim cigarettes and rolling tobacco plus menthol cigs and tips are being banned in may this year
Just say'n that if you Turn the (Tax) Wrench too hard, you Break the Bolt.
It's been seen in the Liquor Market.
It's been seen in the Tobacco Market.
It's been seen in the THC Market.
And the Madness is as Black and Grey Markets start to move in, Tax Revenues actually go Down. So the Answer to make up for the Tax Shortfalls is to Raise Taxes. But that just makes the Black and Grey Marks more attractive.
And soon the Market is trapped in a Self-Spiral. And there Isn't a good way to Correct it.
Because when was the Last Time you have heard of a "Sin Tax" being Reduced? Or even someone say'n that we should?
NO MORE ROLLIES!! Is nothing sacred to these people?
I wonder if you will still be able to buy rolling papers.
