Big question: how much is the increased cost of cigs contributed to people quitting smoking?

I can't see paying that kind of money for something that will give me lung cancer and cause my teeth to fall out.
That said, I have enjoyed cigars that cost more than $13 each. However, I haven't had a cigar in a few years. |

That is why cig smuggling is a very big business. Bad news if you get caught as the powers that be frown very heavily on that.

I question those prices. I don't smoke, but I buy enough gas to know that cigs in Texas go for $ 5-something a pack, not the $ 7-something quoted.

In April, California's cigarette excise tax jumped by $2 per pack, up from the previous 87-cent tax
NY $4.35 |
