Fuck me running, I thought $10 to $12 a pack was bad here in Alaska; then again, I grew up in Alabama, where you can get Pall Malls for about $3.50.

Our government LOVES to do that shit. We've got this love affair with sin taxes, alcohol and cigarettes are just being priced out of the hands of everyday people. Especially cigarettes... $24 a pack what the fuck.
To top it off we used to be able to bring in a carton of smokes from overseas duty free but now we can only bring a single sealed pack of 25 and an open pack. Anything more means you pay duty on everything and a carton ends up costing you $380 which isn't even comparable to buying a carton here locally! the fuckin cheek.
