Haha, I found that to be a problem as well! And every pack of cigarettes comes with some gruesome pictures glued to it.
If what I hear is correct, a fine for smoking a cigarette inside a public place is $100 while a fine for smoking a joint indoors is like $60.

Check the label to see what company manufactures them, such as RJ Reynolds, Phillip Morris, or Brown & Williamson. I went to Holland and smoked "local" cigarettes there, but I found they were made by American companies when I checked the label, like Stuyvesants, my favorite "Dutch" brand.

$70 Canadian for a carton of cigarettes in Canada though, what a shame. That's $50 US, I pay $22 US for a carton of Pall Malls or $28 for a carton of Camels.

Maybe a trip into the US would be well worth your effort. Fill up the gas tank while your at it.

By my closest estimate I've smoked 175,200 cigarettes in my life. I quit last September, but I still miss my smokey little friends.

I know what you mean,but Canada is the big trading partner of USA ,and there is NAFTA and stuff,could they not find some way of importing .Only one thing explains this anomaly protection of domestic producers .Canadian grown tobacco must really suck because when I'm in Europe ,USA I smoke like a chimney but in Canada after 2-3 smokes- oh! God!.By the way what did you really smoked in Holland ??. ;)

No, there is no way to get around the taxes other than illegally smuggling the cigarettes.

Cigarettes aren't expensive in Canada because they cost more to manufacture, they are more expensive because of the taxes, that is all. Cigarettes, whether they are imported or not, are subject to the same provincial taxes.

If you want cheaper prices, you'll have to cross the border. Considering the fact that 90% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the American border, I'm sure you could find opportunities to cross and buy a carton or two. ;)

Was wondering:
How much is a pack of ciggarettes (Marlboros or Lucky Strikes) in America?

PS: Would be good if the price was given in Euros as well.

I buy Russian Marlboros over the internet. I pay a whooping $1.85 a pack. :)

The same cigs bought here cost about 4.50 to as much as 6.50 a pack!

Damn lot with all the taxes. I don't smoke but I think it is like 5 dollars which is maybe 4 or 4.5 euros.

$2.75 in my state. It varies state to state, sqwert.

Can you give me a link Snipe? I think I might be interested in this online cigarette thing.

Here they're 3.90 Euros per pack.
Raised from 3.30 just a few weeks ago.

The real price for them in Russia is about 85 cents.

How much of that is tax?

I don't know, but probably shitloads.

And every pack has to come with a ridiculous warning which no one gives a shit about, but which covers 1/2 of the pack.

Some Marlboro packs come with a little leaflet (which is about 1000 words) which describes how bad smoking is blablabla...

I think they raised the price so that the added 60 cents goes to the Health Ministry.

Edoy: They're also planning to ban smoking in bars and public places too, which is totally fucking gay - because I cannot imagine myself in a bar without smoking a ciggie.

When I was in Holland in July 2000 cigarettes were about 6 guilders a pack. Exchange rate then was about 2.5 guilders to the dollar, so about $2.40 a pack, the same here.

3.90 euro per pack now, works about to about $4.75 a pack. Your prices doubled in terms of US dollars :(

The only warning I remember on my Stuyvesants back then was something "Gezondheid", Gesundheit in my part of the US means sneezing, so I thought that was pretty funny :)
