I the mid-90's I could get a carton of Camels at the reservation for $14.25. Last time I went (around 2004) a carton was $125. I quit smoking long enough ago that I have to assume the price now is somewhere in the $300 range.

    It blows my mind.

    I figure I quit smoking around 1990. I am not sure what I was paying for a pack, but the number that keeps popping up in my head is 4:25USD.

    I smoked Camels filtered and Marlboro Reds.

    I was shocked by how much the price had jumped.

    I remember cigs being about $2.25 my first years of smoking from '93 in southern California. I used to be able to steal quarters from my brother's jar to buy a pack.
