I'm in the US but it varies state to state. Some states are dirt cheap while others are insanely high. Probably 8 to 10 dollars a pack on average around me
Oh well, it's still a bit cheaper than here, relatively.
But I remberer lots of people saying how they were gonna quit once packs hit 5€. And at the time it felt like something crazy that would never happen, and packs cost like 3 or at most 4€ then.
I mean yeah, I don't consume as much cigarettes nowadays, in fact none, but am still a smoker as I don't like smoking weed without tobacco, but I also don't like smoking tobacco without weed.
My opinion is just that vice taxes are shit, because while there might be an argument made, it disproportionately affects people of different income. What's a pack of ciggies tripling their price to someone with high and stable income? Nothing. What is it to the lowest classes? With minimum wage back in idk say 2005 you only needed to work like 15-20min to earn enough for ciggies, now it's definitely more than an hour. And that's not counting income taxation etc, just from gross pay.
