    It blows my mind.

    I figure I quit smoking around 1990. I am not sure what I was paying for a pack, but the number that keeps popping up in my head is 4:25USD.

    I smoked Camels filtered and Marlboro Reds.

    I was shocked by how much the price had jumped.

      I remember cigs being about $2.25 my first years of smoking from '93 in southern California. I used to be able to steal quarters from my brother’s jar to buy a pack.

        Yeah I can’t remember the exact number but it sure wasn’t 10 bucks.
