Depends on where you are. Cheap here in kentucky, not reds specifically (though they're relatively cheap). Other states have health taxes added on top, I recall giving a kid in Mass dagger eyes when he rang me up years ago.
6 bucks a pack, 5 if you buy by the carton. Actually, 5 bucks as a sin tax sounds about right, I think they were ten something in boston and that was back when they were still 4/5 bucks down south. Thing about sin taxes, is that the people who intend to use that money to pay for this or that know.... no matter what they say, that the tax won't make the consumer stop. If it did, funding for their things would dry up, and that's not why they look to levy sin taxes.
Obviously that's from an american perspective...we don't have universal healthcare to use as a justification.
I had a weirder experience quitting. It was super easy...then one day, I just bought another pack and started again. I guess I expected it to be difficult, that I would have cravings and whatnot, just didn't pan out that way. I doubt that would be the case were I to give up my drink.
