How much is a packet of smokes in the States vs UK prices?!


Question: Just wondered, as I just answered about someone moaning about a two dollar increase - though extreme, I suspect they are still cheap.
We pay around £5, or $10 a pack of 20.
£6 is about the minimum hourly wage ;-(
Our "gas" is £1.05 A LITRE!!!! (5 litres make a gallon, or thereabouts, just as an indication.
Just when you thought Bush was bad.

The farther south you go the cheaper things get.
I live in Alabama and cigarettes are under 3 us$ for a pack.
the cheapest ones are like $1.09....and gas is still under $3...its was $2.89 a gallon last time i got gas....

minimum wage is only $6.25 here though....

well gas here is about 3.05 us$ a gallon , and i pay 6-7 us$ for smokes a day , the fed minimum wage is now 7.25 us$ per hr , hope this answers your question

It is regulated by states and most of the price is state tax. It really varies widely depending on where you live. In NYC, you can spend $8 for a pack. In Northern NJ, $6 - $7 a pack. In the southern states the price goes down to as low as $2 per pack.

Paying anything for these well know Cancer sticks is too much.
Anywhere, UK or USA or in the world. I pay nothing to be a non smoker, and it will cost you nothing go join us non smokers. Give the cigarettes up and spend the money on something that is good for you. Think about it, take a deep breath Happy New Year and be smoke free!!!!

i live in tennessee and cigarettes here average about $4.00 a pack [for twenty]. but you can get cigarettes ranging from $1.90-$7.00 a pack. i smoke camels myself and they're not so expensive. =]

gas here is $2.80 a gallon.

hope this helps.

In Iowa...cigs are about $4.50 a pack....gas is currently $2.82/gal....what really sucks is milk is almost $4 a gallon...thanks Ethanol producers!

I live in middle Georgia and a pack of most brands is around $3.50 per pack. Thats about 1.75 pounds. I've found that this is the price of most cigarettes in small to mid-sized towns.

Gas here is around $2.90 per gallon or about 0.40 pounds per litter.
