How much do cigarettes cost per pack where everyone lives?

On June 3, 2008, NY State is once again raising the tax on cigarettes to $2.75 per pack. Add that to the NY City tax of $1.50 and that will be $4.25 in taxes alone.

That will bring retail prices up over $9.00 a pack in many stores (the retail prices vary widely now where in past years they were similar).

So, how much does a pack cost where you live?

Are they still cheap in states like Virginia or other Southern states?
