| How much is, more or less, a "pack of smokes" in your state? Let´s say Winston or Marlboro, for example. PS: I love that "pack of smokes" expression Here in Spain they are about 3 euros, which is like $4.00 bucks | |

| In Bayonne, Nj I try to get the buy one get one free. Marlboro is stopping that promo after so many years. Now it's buy 2 packs get 1 free. I pay 16.50USA for Buy 2 get 1 free . However I went from 3 packs a day to 3 cigarettes a day. It took 8 years to cut down little by little. I also gained alot of weight . Oh well, can't accomplish everything at the same time

| Sorry, I don't smoke but I think a Marlboro pack costs about 5 or 5,50€ in France...

| I don't smoke, never will.. but I'm pretty sure a pack of smokes here costs around AU$8-$10 ??? They're not allowed to advertise cigarettes at all in Australia, not on TV, not in print, no subliminal advertising in movies, and in store I think the store holder can only show a certain percentage of their stock - the rest needs to be covered.. and I'm pretty sure that within the last few years the prices have risen by a few dollars..
Also, no smoking within 20 metres of a public building.. meaning no smoking in clubs or pubs.. they're trying to make smoking illegal in front of small children - don't know how they will addequately police that but (for a non smoker like myself) it seems pretty good in principle.

| Oh sorry, the laws in Queensland (where I live) seem to be alot harsher than the other states of Australia.. Are there smoking bans in states of America? Well anyway, this is pretty much the short version of the bans in the state of Queensland: Smoking is prohibited in all pubs, clubs, restaurants and workplaces in Queensland, as well as in commercial outdoor eating and drinking areas and in outdoor public places (e.g., patrolled beaches, children's playground equipment, major sport stadiums, and within 4 meters of non-residential building entrances). Since 1 July 2006, premises holding a hotel, club or casino liquor licence can designate up to 50% of the outdoor liquor licensed area as a smoking and drinking area. In this area no food or drink can be served, no food can be consumed, no entertainment can be offered and there must be no gaming machines provided. A "buffer", which can be either a 2 metre wide area or a 2.1 metre high screen that is impervious to smoke, must be on the area's perimeter wherever it is adjacent to other parts of the outdoor area usually accessed by patrons. Premises that choose to have such an area must have a smoking management plan for the premises that complies with legislative requirements. For all other liquor licensed premises, and non-liquor licensed premises, from 1 July 2006 there is no smoking at any outdoor eating or drinking place.Thought you guys might find that interesting.. haha I love how no food must be served or entertainment to be offered in the designated smoking areas, 'NO! You must enjoy your cigarette in complete silence!' | |

| I finally managed to quit over a year ago but a pack of 20 cigarettes in Alaska is $7.58 in Anchorage and goes up the farther away from the city you are. Camel bareass is $8.50 in Anchorage. We have the biggest "sin tax" in the country, and going up. | |

| In UK I remeber it was no less that 4.50 pound a pack of 20... Rolling tobacco is quite fashionable too, but a bit shitty too |
