Smokers, flee New York City and head to Kentucky, where a pack of Marlboro Reds will cost you practically a third of what you’re paying now. And while you’re on the road, steer clear of New Hampshire and Vermont, too: the price for a pack has jumped 35% and 25%, respectively, over the past year. We called a gas station—and oftentimes, when we were turned away or simply misunderstood, we called several—in the most populous city of every state in the nation and Washington D.C. and asked the clerk for the price of a pack of Marlboro Red cigarettes including tax. (Obviously, local prices will vary some.) Here’s the current price, in bold, and also how the prices of cigarettes have changed since last summer. 48. Kentucky (last year $6.56): $4.96 = -24 % 47.

The average cost in 2008 was about $8.50 a pack. (Normal brands: camel, newport, etc...) Depending on where you are in the city you could find a pack closer to $7. I was at a wedding in midtown over the summer and the closest deli we could find was selling them at $11!!!! In 2011, a pack of premium brand cigarettes costs $10 to $14 a pack in New York City, depending on where you buy them. Newsstands and bodegas charge the most, especially in th…e touristy areas. The large chain pharmacies, like Duane Reade, charge $11 to $12. You can only get them for $10 a pack if you buy them from a chain pharmacy and they're on sale. For example, I've been smoking Marlboro Menthols and Marlboro Smooths for months, because they're on sale at Duane Reade, 2 packs for $19.98. (MORE) How to Roll a Cigarette Rolling cigarettes may not be the most glamorous way to get your dose of nicotine, but what way really is, since it's bad for your health to begin with? Rolling your own cigar…ettes, however, may be a lot cheaper because cigarettes by the pack are so expensive these days. If you want to save money and still be able to smoke then you should learn how to roll your own cigarettes.Determine if you are going to smoke filtered or non-filtered cigarettes. Non-filtered is more dangerous because you don't have something filtering the harmful chemicals that are inside of cigarettes. Filtered also is a bit better because you won't have all of those little pieces of tobacco get inside your mouth. Another reason to decide whether you want filtered or non-filtered is whether you want to roll by hand or use a machine. If you roll by hand then you will most likely roll non-filtered. If you roll with a machine you can use a filter because the machine will roll it for you and add the filter onto it.Determine if you are going to smoke menthol or non-menthol. It is a matter of taste preference when it comes to the different flavors. When rolling cigarettes, you will be using bagged or canned tobacco. Bagged tobacco is cheaper. However, they both have the same amount of tobacco in them.There are many different places you can buy the tobacco you have chosen to roll and smoke. Some places offer a bulk discount rate and others will charge you at the state's minimum price. You can most often find places that not only sell tobacco but they will also sell the machines, filters, and papers you will need to roll your own cigarettes. Make sure you have your photo ID with you or they will not sell any tobacco products to you.You will need a flat surface to roll your tobacco on. This is so it won't go all over the floor or table where you are sitting. You can use a plate to put the amount of tobacco you are going to use for your hand rolled cigarette on.Open the bag or can of tobacco and make sure it is dry and clean. You don't want to use moist tobacco because it won't stay lit very long or won't light at all. You also don't want it to be dirty because then you will get the dirt in your mouth. On the other hand, you don't want the tobacco to be too dry because then it will fall apart easily and won't stay rolled or will be too fine.Take your rolling paper, making sure the glued edge of it is on the inside and hold it in both hands in between your two forefingers and two thumbs. Crease the paper so it is opened up.Put the tobacco inside the rolling paper and roll up and down so the two ends of the paper meet. Do this several times to even it out.Once you have it evened out, start from the bottom and roll all the way up until you get to the part of the paper that is glued. Lick the glued edge, apply some pressure to the paper but not too much or the paper will rip and press the two ends together.Light the cigarette and enjoy. Repeat these steps every time you want to roll your own cigarette without a filter. =''/>If you wish to use a filter, you will need a device to handle it. The machine can also be used to roll unfiltered cigarettes if you can't get the hand of doing it manually.Although smoking is bad for your health, you can save a lot of money by rolling your own. You can still have the filtered cigarettes if you use a machine. However, a machine will cost more. All you need for hand-rolled cigarettes is the bagged or canned tobacco, rolling papers, and a little bit of patience when trying to learn how to roll on your own.If you practice with someone who already knows how to do this, it won't take long to start rolling them on your own. Just don't give up the first time because you won't get it perfect your first few tries. Make sure you don't overfill the paper with too much tobacco or the paper will rip. Also, try rolling smoothly from start to finish without stopping. (MORE) Cigarette Bans in the United States The issue of cigarette bans began as a controversial one in the United Sates, with the tobacco industry mounting an extensive and well-funded campaign to muddy the waters in r…espect to the health hazards of smoking and encouraging a culture of "tolerance and courtesy" between smokers and those around them. Those days are gone, however, and now, 49 years after the surgeon general's initial report into the adverse effects on health of smoking was published, most Americans accept that smoking is harmful, even in so much as being exposed to second-hand smoke. This has resulted in a nationwide (but not unified) movement to restrict smokers' freedom to smoke in most public venues/environments. There is no federal law mandating the ban of cigarettes in public, but it remains a popular and widely encouraged sentiment, with many individual states and local governments acting upon it.Arizona was the first state to prohibit smoking on all commercial airline flights in 1973. Minnesota was the first state to initiate anti smoking laws, enacting the "Minnesota Clean Indoor Act" in 1975 to prohibit smoking in most public places. Although initially the ban excluded bars, and restaurants could circumvent the regulation by designating specific smoking areas, the law was revised in 2007 via the "Freedom to Breath" act, which instigated a comprehensive ban across all state bars and restaurants. Aspen in Colorado followed suit, banning smoking in restaurants in 1985. The next city to enact a ban on smoking in most bars and restaurants, along with retail stores, was Beverly Hills in California. This was followed by San Luis Obispo in 1990. Statewide regulation was introduced in 1994 and then extended in 1998. At the time, such regulation was controversial, but since then other states, most notably New York, have been encouraged to follow suit. By 2009, 37 states had some form of restriction of smoking in public.Since regulation came into force, a large volume of studies claim to have demonstrated positive effects on public health. With 18 months into its prohibition period, Pueblo in Colorado reported a 27 percent drop in hospital admissions for heart attacks, with no change observed in neighboring towns that did not regulate smoking. Similarly, Helena in Montana reported a 40 percent reduction in heart attacks following its imposition of non-smoking laws.The implications of such studies have however been undermined by a nationwide study published in 2010, indicating there was in fact no link between the advent of smoking bans and any short term reduction in hospital admission or mortality rates associated with heart disease, nor indeed any other diseases. Whilst giving up smoking is unquestionably good for your personal health and those in your immediate proximity (family), there is no definitive evidence to support the notion that smoking bans have had a positive effect on public health.Opposition to smoking bans has been mounted on several grounds, not least by the likes of musician Joe Jackson and political essayist Christopher Hitchens. Such arguments present the bans as an affront to civil liberties and an interference by the government in an individual's chosen lifestyle. Proponents of these views interpret the laws not as a ban on harming those around them, but merely as an obstacle to their own consumption of tobacco.Others argue that the intrusion of government into this particular arena of public life not only violates citizens` property rights, but is completely unwarranted. As distinct from national institutions like hospitals and schools, bars and restaurants are in fact private property and it is thought by many that it should be up to the owner of those properties to designate it as pro/non-smoking. Those of this persuasion often argue convincingly that if such decisions were made at the discretion of property owners and not by the government, we might still enjoy an abundance of smoke-free public facilities without marginalizing whole sects of society and negatively impacting individual freedom.Many businesses across a large volume of US states such as Iowa, Kentucky, New York, South Carolina, Colorado, Nevada, Montana, and Hawaii have actually filed law suits against state or local government claiming for loss of business without compensation and related business difficulties. Such cases often claim protection from bans under previously established law or even argue that that smoking regulation is unconstitutional. They have a poor success rate.Some cite the prohibition of smoking in many indoor environments like offices as actually being counter-productive in terms of helping people avoid second-hand smoke. It forces smokers outdoors, where they congregate in groups around entrances/exits, subjecting new arrivals and anyone leaving the building to more concentrated levels of second-hand smoke than would otherwise have been the case. Many institutions have responded to this by issuing further regulation pertaining to smoking in proximity to buildings. Such regulation is expensive and time consuming to enforce, however.Also defined as "Smoke-easy's, "Smokeasies' or "Smokeeasy's, these establishments are most often bars or restaurants that facilitate the avoidance or evasion of smoking bans, and have predictably sprung up as a result of smoking regulation across the nation (and indeed the world). Some such institutions openly defy smoking laws and make no attempts to hide their activities, calculating that the fines they are likely to incur are more than countered by the profits they stand to make through appealing specifically to smokers. Others exist underground or operate in a duplicitous manner: for example, in Philadelphia, some bartenders flout the law against providing ashtrays by providing glasses filled with a little water instead. This allows smokers to dump their ashes without fear of being caught and relying on them to quickly extinguish and hide any cigarettes in the event of inspection.Such operations rely greatly on secrecy and attract business mainly via word of mouth. Some of them are thought to receive extensive, clandestine support from the tobacco industry; for example, in Chicago, RJ Reynolds established what it calls an "up-scale smoking lounge," which is in effect a bar serving food and alcohol, but is registered as a tobacco retail store and licensed to sell cigarettes.Smokeasys are perhaps most prevalent in New York City. In a period stretching from 2005-2006 alone, the city issued over 600 citations to such establishments, with over 230 in Queens, 158 in Manhattan, 126 in Brooklyn, 73 in the Bronx, and 12 in Staten island. In Hawaii, smoking legislation is openly defied by restaurants and bars that readily attract attention from local press to draw attention to their activities. The government response has been limp and ineffective; as of 2010, not a single institution has been fined for such activity, and the law there is in the process of being revised.The issue of cigarette bans remains a contentious one touching almost all aspects of modern society. Mothers seek to protect their children from harm, who in turn grow into curious teenagers who intrigued by a forbidden activity associated with many of their Hollywood idols. Businesses are caught between exposing their staff to possible harm and losing critical business, and among all of this, nobody is really sure how much good prohibition is actually doing. The issue of banning cigarettes is about balancing our desire for individual freedom against the authorities' duties to look out for the public's well-being. Individual states or counties are likely to draw different conclusions, meaning enforcing a uniform, federal ban is probably not the right way to approach the matter.Holland passed a law in 2008 banning cigarettes/tobaccos in cafes and restaurants, and imposing a $25,000 fine for those who defied the order. Business owners were outraged, claiming the ban cost them in excess of 30 percent of their business, and a large proportion of them became smokeasies. A group called "Save the Small Cafe Owners" was created and a 1,500-5,000 strong protest was organized in November of that year. After a further two years of persistent opposition, the band was repealed by the Dutch government in 2010. (MORE) Are Electronic Cigarettes Harmful? More and more people are becoming aware of the harmful effects of cigarette smoking. But because it is such a hard habit to break, many smokers choose to find alternatives rat…her than quit completely. And one of the most popular tobacco alternatives is the electronic cigarette (also known as e-cigarette).Electronic cigarettes or e-cigs for short look and feel like cigarettes, but instead of inhaling smoke one inhales a vaporized mixture containing nicotine. "Vape" or "vaping" as it is normally referred to is thought to be safer than smoking.Since their introduction in the market, e-cigarettes have flourished in the US. In fact, the New York Times magazine reports that the e-cigarette industry will reach $1.7 billion in sales for this year alone.Electronic cigarettes are marketed as a "better" alternative to tobacco cigarettes. Manufacturers of these products claim that it contains significantly fewer chemicals, compared to the over 4,000 toxic compounds in regular tobacco. But health authorities, such as the British Medical Association and the World Health Organization, disagree. What's more, they warn the public of the ill effects these smoking devices may bring to their health.In the 2009 FDA analysis of electronic cigarettes, the vapor samples from two leading brands tested positive for carcinogens, such as diethylene glycol, the active ingredient in anti-freeze formulations.The National Consumers' Institute tested ten different models of electronic cigarette. They found a 'significant' quantity of carcinogenic molecules in the vapor of these smoking devices. They also criticized some e-cigarette models for lacking child-safety caps because the nicotine levels in these devices can be lethal for young children.Unlike tobacco products, electronic cigarettes are accessible to minors due to lack of regulatory policies. e-cigs can be bought anywhere, from drugstores to malls, local groceries, and even from online stores. And even though e-cigarette manufacturers deny marketing their products to children, their products come in various flavors, such as cherry, vanilla, chocolate, cookies and cream, strawberry, and milkshake.Although, e-cigs are less toxic than conventional cigarettes it is still not clear if e-cigs can help someone quit smoking. Furthermore, the long-term effects of e-cigs use are still unknown.Some analyst predicts e-cigs may outsell conventional cigarettes in 10 years. And because of increasing use among high-school students e-cigs may be a gateway product to nicotine and eventually tobacco addiction.So are electronic cigarettes harmful? Yes they are. The only sure way you can cut your risk of developing smoking-related illnesses is to quit smoking or quit vaping. (MORE) What Are the Effects of Cloves in Cigarettes on Your Health? For years, a myth existed that smoking clove cigarettes is better for your health than smoking cigarettes containing traditional tobacco. However, research over the past decad…e has proven this myth to be false; clove cigarettes are very capable of causing injury and disease.Clove cigarettes are not identical to traditional, tobacco cigarettes. This is a major reason for the myth that smoking clove cigarettes is better for you because it contains a tamer version of nicotine. The astonishing truth is that clove cigarettes still contain between 60 and 70 percent tobacco.According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, clove cigarettes actually produce more nicotine and carbon monoxide than the more mainstream brands of cigarettes. Research has also found that the cloves themselves cause issues. The biggest issue being a numbness in your throat that. This numbness has been known to cause you to choke on your food or drink.Smoking clove cigarettes puts you at risk for nausea, vomiting, bronchitis, pneumonia, various allergies and even possibly lung cancer. Smoking clove cigarettes is also linked to coughing up blood, though this side effect is rare.There is no such thing as a safe cigarette. Some alternatives, such as clove cigarettes, have become popular because of both its "cool" factor, and the appearance that it is not harmful. There is no way around it, smoking is bad for your health.While the adverse health effects of clove cigarettes in comparison to traditional cigarettes are known, the long-term effects of smoking clove cigarettes are not. Rather than risk your health, speak to your doctor about how to get help quitting.If you are a clove cigarette smoker trying to quit, you are missing the aroma of cloves as much as you are missing the experience of smoking. To help alleviate the sensory deprivation you are feeling, create a mixture of water, cloves and cinnamon. Let this mixture simmer on your stove for a few minutes every night, permeating the air before you sleep. (MORE) How much is one pack of cigarettes in New York State?
