You must be 18 or older to purchase tobacco. Retailers listed at Discount Cigarettes Shopping Guide require proof of age for purchase.
You may need to refresh your browser to see the latest prices. If the date January 15, 2008 is more than 2 days old, you are viewing an old version of the page.
Be sure to consider shipping & handling costs when comparing prices. We list shipping cost per carton to NJ and CA, based on a 5 carton order. (See Shipping at Consumer Info.)
Do Online Retailers Pay the Federal Excise Tax?: The Federal Excise Tax is currently $3.90 per carton. (There is a movement in Congress to raise it to $23.90 per carton.) Black market dealers exempt themselves; smugglers of counterfeit cigarettes exempt themselves; "off shore" retailers, in many instances, exempt themselves. Except in very few special circumstances, there are no legal tax free cigarettes sold in the United States.
What About State Taxes?: Online tobacco shops that are located on Native American lands argue that they are not required to charge state cigarette taxes or report sales to state tax departments. Tobacco shops that are not located on Native American Reservations tend to argue that the sale takes place in the state in which their shop is located and the state cigarette tax in that state is paid. State governments claim that the Jenkins Act requires online cigarette retailers to report the names and addresses of customers. However, in an article in NewsChoice Online News, officials state that of 175 mail-order or online retailers of cigarettes, only 5% reported names and addresses of customers to state tax authorities.

Had Enough From the Anti-Smoking Groups?: If you are tired of high tobacco taxes, please e-mail your congressman and senator and tell them so. You can find their e-mail address at Congress.org. Remind them that about 25% of all voting Americans are smokers. Tell them that you believe in free e-Commerce and that you are writing to ask them to repeal the Jenkins Act (Title 15, United State Code, Sections 375, 376, 377, and 378). If they don't write back, consider voting for someone else at the next election. You can see whether your representative is tobacco-friendly by clicking on the map at the right.

What Are Duty-Free Cigarettes?: Duty-free cigarettes are made in the United Stated for overseas markets. Typically, these products have different packaging, promotional offers, and blend formulations than the corresponding brands that are manufactured for sale in the United States. For instance, duty-free Marlboros do not contain "Marlboro Miles."
Since January, 2000, it has been illegal to "reimport" these cigarettes to the U.S. Recently, some retailers have applied the term "duty free" to American brands that are manufactured overseas "under the authority of" the American manufacturer. Current U.S. law makes it illegal for anyone but the trademark owner to import these products into the United States.
Why Do Cigarettes Cost So Much?: The increase in cigarette prices in recent years is due mainly to two things: (1) high state cigarette taxes and (2) the multibillion dollar tobacco settlement against the major cigarette manufacturers. Want to see how a carton of cigarettes can cost $38.83 in California? Check out this Pie Chart. You can still find cheap cigarettes if you are willing to buy brands from manufacturers who were not part of the tobacco settlement and if you buy from online retailers who do not charge high state taxes. On our home page, you can find many brands that cost less than $15 per carton.

Can I Save Money by Buying Cigarettes Online?: That depends on two things: (1) where you live and (2) what brand you are willing to smoke. If you live in a High Cigarette-Tax State (MA, NJ, NY, WA, RI, MI), you can save by buying online, even if you smoke a premium brand such as Marlboro, Winston, or Merit. If you live in a Low Cigarette-Tax State (VA, KY, NC, SC, WY, GA), then you can probably buy premium brands at local discount stores more cheaply than you can online. For instance, take a look at the prices that Kentucky residents pay at a discount chain store, Cigarette Outlet, with several locations in the state. (The prices shown do not include a Kentucky sales tax of 6%.) Here is a list of Local Cigarette Outlets throughout the United States.

Shipping Costs: Since the beginning of 2001, major shipping companies (including the U.S. Postal Service) have increased their prices. Most retailers have found it necessary to raise their prices accordingly. As of July, 2002, some have changed from a "flat rate" policy (for deliveries within the U.S.) to an "actual cost" method.
Discount Cigarettes Shopping Guide's current policy is to post the shipping cost per carton, based on an order of at least 5 cartons, in two different windows on the right side of each listing...one showing the rate to New York and the other showing the rate to California.
When doing cost comparison among the retailers listed on our home page, please remember that if your order is to be delivered somewhere other than New York or California, your shipping cost may be different than either of the figures shown on a retailer's listing.
What About the "Minimum Order" Window? We no longer display that information. We found that many shoppers found it confusing because of its location immediately adjacent to the "Shipping Cost Per Carton" window. They inferred that for an order of only one carton, for example, the shipping cost displayed would apply. This was not the case because the cost displayed was based on an order of 5 cartons (the average order). In all but a very few exceptions, the shipping cost for an order of 1 or 2 cartons is about the same as if the order were for 5 cartons.
Shipping Outside the United States: Most of the retailers listed on our home page will ship only to addresses within the United States. There may be a few, however, that will ship orders to other countries. Since this depends a great deal on the destination country - and is subject to frequent change - you should check with the retailer to determine his current policy prior to placing an order.
Tar and Nicotine Yields: Each year the Federal Trade Commission publishes a report about the tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide yields of various brands. See 1999 Report on Tar, Nicotine, and Carbon Monoxide, Covering 1997. This report is in "pdf" form, so you need to be able to download pdf files to read it. The report contains information about 1252 domestic brands. Of these the lowest in tar are Carlton, Cambridge, Merit, and Now. The highest in tar are all nonfilter versions of Basic, Camel, Chesterfield, Commander, Lucky Strike, Old Gold, Pyramid, and Tareyton.
