Several years ago I was in a west coast Fred Meyer and behind the glass case "on sale" was a carton of Camel filters for $124.00s. I couldn't believe it. I grew up in tobacco country and cropped tobacco one summer as a kid. When I smoked in my teen years I could by 3 packs of smokes for a $1.00. Any brand and a carton any brand cost around 3 to 4 bucks.
