Not Saying Winter Is Coming, but Where’s Your Coat...
$12/pack ?!? It's less than half that? Or where are you that the taxes are that high?

It's $20USD per pack here in Australia. It's reduce lousy tax but with the plain packaging and this price has really gotten people to quit.

Looks like it's even more than that in New York.

Vancouver. If you think that's expensive, you should see our real estate!

Pricey real estate I can wrap my head around, Bay Area here. But $12/pack? Madness.

It's about A$1 per cigarette in Australia, or about US$19 per pack of 25.

Those would be Canadian $ though, I presume.

Yes, though CAD/USD was at parity for quite a while, and the price doesn't change w the exchange rate
