We've been smoke free for more than 20 years. I don't even know a smoker these days.
I seem to recall them being just under $40 a carton back them. I'm betting they're north of $150 these days.
If no one knows the carton price, how about a single pack?

I'm not sure if the site is is using the per pack prices strictly as a metric, or if they actual mean the price for a single pack.

(32,556 posts)I quit smoking because I said I'd never pay A DOLLAR A PACK for cigarettes!
That was just way more than I wanted to spend, and I was looking for a reason to quit anyway.

(17,238 posts)Glad to report that she was advised by back surgeon to quit smoking 2 weeks prior to surgery (and did). Hopefully since she is suppose to not smoke for 6 months while bones are healing she will quit permanently. I continue to encourage her about how nice her skin is looking and that she smells nice (before when she came to visit I could smell her 10 feet before I saw her.
