Here is the appropriate column from Table 13 - 1968 from Orzechowski and Walker's "Tax Burden on Tobacco" 2008. The average prices vary by state, mostly as a result of differing state taxes on cigarettes, but transportation costs and other factors may also be at play. The median state average can be seen as 32.8 cents per pack.
