Sri Lanka: Cigarette price increases in Sri Lanka causing decline in cigarette manufacturing
Australia: Cigarette prices may double with cigarette tax increase
Canada: Anti-smoking efforts may not stop smokers from smoking cigarettes
USA: States raise tobacco tax, not necessarily revenue
Cigarette prices by state
These are prices for premium brands from our sources:
Dallas, TX: upwards of $5.50
Bronx, NY: $7.45-$9.00, depending on location
Seattle, WA: $5.50-$6.00
Etc.
We don't see any relief for cigarette smokers any time soon. The Obama administration appears to be attacking cigarette companies with new regulations which will lead to increased prices. Expect cigarette prices to maintain or increase for the rest of 2009.
