Regardless of how expensive cigarettes and tobacco taxes get, most people will continue to buy them. Rather than spend even more on cigarettes than they already are, see if you can find some less expensive sources for cigarettes. Not every city or state will have the same types of resources for things like cigarettes, chewing or other forms of tobacco.

It's always a good idea to check around with other people you know who also smoke. Sometimes word of mouth truly is the best way to get the most for your dollar. And of course, keeping in mind, it usually is cheaper to buy your cigarettes by the carton, rather than by the pack. If you aren't a real heavy smoker and you know someone else who doesn't smoke as much either, you might consider splitting the cost of a carton between the two of you.

If you're a military servicemember or dependant (read: spouse or family member!), your local military base usually has cheaper cigarettes in their commissary or their BX store. Sometimes the convenience stores on the military bases are cheaper than a regular convenience store too! Too bad it's not the same for gas prices, on base versus the civilian world!

If you live in s state with Native American smoke shops and casinos, usually you can find cigarettes cheaper by the pack or the carton, all you have to do is shop around. If you've got any Indian reservations or Native American-run smoke shops, this is often a good way to go for less expensive cigarettes.

Sometimes getting on a mailing list via the internet, is a great way to get inexpensive cigarettes. For example, many cigarette companies will send out free packs of cigarettes on occasion, coupons for free packs, coupons for "Buy one, get one free" and even coupons for $2 or $2.50 off a pack. Any coupons can really help lower the cost of cigarettes for you.

And don't forget the option of buying cigarettes over the internet. If you shop around online, sometimes you can find cigarettes for as cheap as $10 a carton. Just look around and find a good website with a good reputation, and go from there. Just watch out for outrageous shipping fees that can sometimes accompany purchases over the internet!

There are many many places to find inexpensive cigarettes, just shop around and find the best deal. Also, decide whether you really need those name-brand cigarettes, or if you could go with something cheaper. Sometimes simply switching to a less expensive brand can save you a small fortune on cigarettes too.
