- refurb 8y agoThis was a long time ago. NY Times article says $44 for a carton in Ontario versus $15 or so in the US. Obviously different times. However, the increase in taxes in the US made even higher taxes in Canada possible.
- Scoundreller 8y agoThe price disparities between untaxed "reserve" cigarettes and non-reserve cigarettes is still there. But they're often manufactured in Ontario now and find their way around. Currency exchange rates can play some element. New York State already has a lot of domestic demand for untaxed tobacco now that they're upped their taxes (again).
