In 1956, how much did a pack of cigarettes cost?

Depends on where they were bought, obviously, because of varying tax systems. The table shows historical tax burdens in the USA and current ones abroad. Where I was in '56, I recall they could be had for a dime a pack, but that was because there was no tax. http://www.drugs.indiana.edu/publs/archive/html/cigtax_burden.html Aug 16 06, 10:44 PM

My Grandpa said they were aroung .12 cents, depending on where you got them. He lived in the midwest and could sometimes purchase them from Indians. Here they would cost around .05-.07 cents. Aug 16 06, 11:05 PM

And with all that money you would save you could afford the best doctors in the state. Aug 17 06, 6:37 AM

In the UK, they would have cost from 2s 11d to 3s 10d (14˝p to 19p), depending on size and quality. That would have been the equivalent of 41˘ to 54˘. Aug 17 06, 3:38 PM
