This will result in a huge black market as millions of NYers go somewhere else and buy cigs at $5 a pack and resell then in NYC at say $7.
New York City to raise minimum price of cigarettes to $13 a pack - Breitbart
Aug. 10 (UPI) — The New York City Council voted this week to raise the minimum price of a pack of cigarettes to $13 and banned their sales in pharmacies.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio personally introduced the plan to city lawmakers in April and is expected to sign the legislation, reported the New York Daily News.
The minimum price for a pack of cigarettes in the Big Apple is currently $10.50, while the average price is $11.23.
