Where is the cheapest place to buy cigarettes in the USA?
I quit smoking along time ago, however my dad has tried everything to quit & still can't. When I was still a smoker they were barely $3/pk, not I understand they're nearly $6/pk in Texas. If that was too high you could roll your own for about $12 for two cartons. However, obama has hiked the biggest tax hike in history on smokes, including bag tobacco that is now selling for $40 bucks making it unreasonable. I was going to buy him some online from overseas & have them shipped to him, only to find out that obama signed a bill into law last month called PACT (Prevent All Cigarette Trafficing) that now makes it illegal to ship cigarettes in the usa. So with all that being said & done, how is the addicted smoker supposed to obtain decent pricing on cigarettes? Obama has created a monopoly of sorts & yes, it's helped people quit, but what about those who can't, what are they supposed to do? One could argue that "they're gonna kill you so it's ok" But for someone who's smoked for upwards of 50 years he can't just quit, so he's gonna be pennyless until he dies trying to afford to pay for them. So what can one do? Are they cheaper on indian reservations? Are there places that have them duty/tax free? What the heck is average joe with average pay gonna do?

Missouri, Virginia, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, North Dakota, North Carolina, and West Virginia have the lowest state tax so they would probably have the lowest prices on cigarettes. Some states have laws that limit how many cartons you can bring into the state. New York, Rhode Island, Washington, Connecticut, Hawaii, and New Jersey have the highest state taxes. I do not know about the Indian Reservations. I think that some states set up surveillance on people leaving the reservations with cigarettes and that could end up being a big hassle. Tax free cigarettes on Indian Reservations are suppose to be for the Native Americans on the reservations - not for anyone else. But that doesn't stop the sales to non-Native Americans.
Have you considered an electronic cigarette? Many people have found these to be an excellent alternative to tobacco cigarettes and they are a lot cheaper. I have smoked an electronic cigarette for over 3-1/2 months and have not touched a tobacco cigarette. I smoked about a half pack a day for over 30 years. My husband is now using an electronic cigarette and he smoked about a pack and a half a day. He's really saving the money.
What makes them such a good alternative is they are healthier than tobacco cigarettes. Tobacco cigarettes can contain as many as 4000 chemicals. Electronic cigarettes have very few chemicals and they are not cancer causing chemicals.
