    I’m in Western NY, but even in NYC it’s less than 9%. The state offers a lot of support for quitting, perhaps that’s why.

        They’re $15 throughout the state. So they’re probably more in the city.

        Reservation cigarettes negate those prices though.

            The reason they’re cheaper is because they don’t need to charge tax on them. Regular cigarettes are the same price, but they have all of the taxes on top of that, which makes them cost three times as much.

            That’s interesting there isn’t anything on wiki about it. It’s not a secret or anything.

      I doubt there’s much support here at all and there was pretty much a red wave in this state in November, so there will probably be even less next year.
