What are cigarette prices in other states right now? Im from Michigan and they just shot from 5 and some change to almost 7 dollars!! Im thinking about road tripping down to indiana or ohio to pick some up........
In TN they are still holding steady at around $4 per pack, sometimes as high as 5. But we're in the South, gotta keep those tobacco farmers in business. If they would only legalize the state's #1 cash crop. . .

I have a degree in finance, and that is by farthe most effective, simplest thing they could do to boost our economy. Better, cheaper bud. Jobs. And shitloads of tax$$ that people will be more than glad to pay......

And it would put the gang bangers out of business, who happen to be the same ones slinging the crappy mexican corn. American corn is the way to go. U!S!A! U-S-A!
The federal excise tax was raised 71 cents in the recent children's health bill that Obama signed. Any price increase above 71 cents is tobacco companies raising their prices along with the tax increase.
I work at a convenience store, and prices just rose today. Here's where they're at here in Wisconsin: Marlboro/Parliament/Newport/American Spirit: $6.90 Camel/Kool/Basic/Winston: $6.00 Pall Mall: $5.20
Our d-bag governor raised the tax by a dollar at the beginning of 2008, and he's already clamoring to raise it another 75 cents.
Around $4...but I mean, to be honest, if you don't like the price, quit smoking...it's horrible for you anyway. My grandmother died of complications from smoking
I went to buy a pack of Camels today in Ohio and they have been $4.76 at my corner gas station for as long as I can remember (which is only a couple months) and they were $5.61 today. I don't know if there was a tax increase or what but I was very displeased.

$4.76 + .71 = 5.47.
In addition to the tax hike, your corner store price went up another 14 cents. I assume more of that goes to RJ Reynolds than to your corner store...

Competition is the foundation of capitalism!!!
Which is why, once upon a time back in 1937, the tobacco companies did just that and lobbied for corn prohibition

Thank you for expaining Kdogg. I had no idea there was a tax increase introduced in that children's health plan. Looks like it's time to quit, or jump over to Kentucky where the smokes are cheaper.

I think that if you're buying ultra lights, you're wasting your money no matter what the price.
no bc i was smoking parliaments, then marlboro lights, and now ultra lights, im weening myself off slowly, and i only smoke like 2 a day, so its not like im dying for them so ultra lights are good for me, been smoking them for about 4 years now

I know here in GA, the tax on cartons is about to go up to about $8 (not sure what it was before), but Phillip Morris decided to go ahead and implement the new tax immediately...definitely motivation to quit!
thats a whole carton worth of cigs for $8-$12 bucks. they taste better and since you have to make them yourself it has kind of helped me not smoke as many. just not enough time to roll a pack a day.
ive been noticing at all the gas stations/corner stores that they are putting signs warning of carton price hikes beginning in april...why is it that when govt needs money, the first people they always think to tax are the smokers...so my habit is becoming more expensive to help all the earmarks and wasteful spending that all of these "destructive" spending bills include...thanks obama!!!
im glad to know that my taxes are going to catfish research, finding out why pigs and pig manure smell, a freakin mouse in san fran, and a frisbee golf course in austin, tx...how all of this is supposed to "stimulate" economy is far beyond me...im just glad that it means higher cigarette prices
im sure that some will say "well you should consider quitting", "its better for your health", etc...bullshit...this is the start...it always starts with cigarettes, next itll be booze (and then most will start complaining), and then who knows...taxes are going sky high for all (not just the rich) to pay for all this spending, which will not work...how do i know it wont work?...look at the auto industry...most auto makers asked for a loan, recieved it, nothing changed in their infrastructure, and now they are asking for more money...the same will happen with all these spending bills...mark my words!!! cigarettes are just the beginning
