How much did a pack of cigarettes cost in 1977?

Answer 1

I was wondering about this too. Here is a site to check costs: http://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/tables/economics/cigtax.htm

Around 1970 it was an average of 38 cents a pack - probably around $3.50 a carton and a bit higher through vending machines. I remember paying 45 cents a pack at our local restaurant's vending machine.

I worked at a self-service Gulf station in northeast Tennessee around this time (1977 and 1978) and recall that a gallon of regular Gulf gasoline and a pack of cigarettes (the major brands like Marlboro, Salem, Newport, etc sold for the same price US $0.479 (forty seven and nine/tenth cents each).

Jimmy Carter was President of the United States and the minimum wage was also $2.65 or there about and I could purchase approximately (before payroll taxes) five gallons of gasoline for one hour of wages.
