Our NIMBY Mayor in San Francisco is banning retail drug stores from selling cigarettes.
For some reason drug stores around here sell cigarettes cheaper than most retail outlets like deli's, candy stores, and 7-Eleven.
There is a Walgreens that sells Marlboros for $6.58 a pack. That is the absolute cheapest you can get them legally around here. Most stores are anywhere from $7.35 to $7.75 a pack.
Of course that will be increased sharply after June 3 to over $9.00 a pack or more in most stores.
