In Alaska, or at least in Juneau, taxes have been heaped upon cigarettes (purposely) so that a pack costs over $10.00. I can't imagine how a 'normal' person could afford to smoke them, but people still do.

Back at the height (depths?) of my addiction eons ago I routinely smoked 1 1/2 to 2 packs a day, and when I went out in the evening I smoked even more. The only good thing that came of it is that my daughter never wanted to smoke- and never did.
