CHEAPEST CIGARETTES IN BC 2026 — SAVE BIG ON EVERY PACK
British Columbia has some of the highest cigarette prices in all of Canada. A pack of cigarettes in Vancouver or Victoria regularly costs $17 to $20 — and a carton can run over $180. Here is exactly how BC smokers can pay significantly less in 2026.
WHY BC HAS THE MOST EXPENSIVE CIGARETTES IN CANADA
British Columbia combines the federal excise tax with one of the highest provincial tobacco taxes in the country. BC's provincial tobacco tax sits at approximately $0.294 per cigarette — significantly higher than most other provinces. On top of that, GST applies, and retailers in cities like Vancouver often add their own markups due to high operating costs.
The result is that BC smokers pay some of the highest prices in Canada. A pack-a-day smoker in Vancouver can spend over $6,500 per year on cigarettes at retail prices. That is more than $500 per month going up in smoke.
