text: how much does a pack of cigarettes cost? average is fine doesn't matter what brand depends if the new tax here goes into affect after today's votes are counted, if so you're looking at about $7 to $8 a pack. right now you may be able to pick up a pack for about $4.50.  in the long run regardless of price per pack, they'll cost you your life.  either way, it doesn't matter to me. never smoked em, never will.
