It is, at least, doing its best to raise the price of cigarettes.

Congress can force the price of cigarettes up through a new tobacco tax.

This would translate into only about a 1.5-cent difference in the price of cigarettes.

The average retail price of cigarettes was close to $1.50 a pack last year.

That proposal would increase cigarette prices by only 62 cents over 25 years.

Indeed, every six months for the last several years, tobacco companies have quietly increased cigarette prices by about 5 percent.

With such increased production in these countries, the prices of cigarettes become significantly lowered.

You can raise the price of cigarettes, people will still smoke.

The price of cigarettes alone may be a deterrent for Europeans.

The step could cut the price of imported cigarettes by 76 percent, trade negotiators for both countries said today.
