Yes, I was astonished about a week ago when I was in a store and a not too afluent (looking) person in front of me bought a pack of cigarettes. After the person left, I asked the clerk what a pack costs now days. He said $17, which blew me away. Of course I had to tell him the story from my childhood when a friend of my dad had a cigarette vending maching business. You put in a quarter and got a pack with three pennies inserted under the cellophane on the sider of the pack.
Just checked with an inflationi calculator. $.22 from that time would be $2.58 now days.
