Cigarette prices in Canada
A pack of 20 runs roughly $13 to $23 depending on where you live, and a carton of 200 from about $115 to over $200 in the territories. Most of that is tax: between $76 and $119 a carton before sales tax even applies.

Cigarette prices by province
Typical retail prices at a convenience store. These are market estimates rather than fixed figures — brand, retailer and city all move them.
| Province or territory | Pack of 20 | Carton of 200 |
|---|---|---|
| Saskatchewan | $12 – $15 | $115 – $150 |
| Manitoba | $12 – $15 | $115 – $150 |
| Alberta | $12 – $16 | $120 – $155 |
| Quebec | $14 – $17 | $120 – $155 |
| Ontario | $15 – $19 | $130 – $170 |
| New Brunswick | $16 – $18 | $140 – $160 |
| Prince Edward Island | $17 – $19 | $150 – $170 |
| Nova Scotia | $17 – $19 | $150 – $175 |
| British Columbia | $17 – $20 | $150 – $185 |
| Newfoundland and Labrador | $17 – $23 | $150 – $190 |
| Yukon, NWT, Nunavut | $20+ | $180 – $200+ |
A native carton from us is $42 for the same 200 cigarettes, dropping to $31.50 at volume — between a third and a fifth of what the same quantity costs at a store.
Where the money actually goes
Federal excise duty — identical everywhere
Ottawa charges $0.97299 per five cigarettes, which works out to about 19.46¢ each or $38.92 per carton of 200. It’s the same in every province and territory, and it rises every 1 April in line with inflation.
Provincial tobacco tax — where the gap comes from
This is what separates a cheap province from an expensive one. Per carton of 200:
Ontario$36.95
Quebec$41.80
New Brunswick$51.04
Saskatchewan$58.00
Nova Scotia$59.04
Alberta$60.00
Manitoba$60.00
Prince Edward Island$60.00
British Columbia$65.00
Newfoundland$65.00
Northwest Territories$68.80
Yukon$74.00
Nunavut$80.00
Bars drawn to scale against Nunavut’s $80. Yukon’s rate rose to 37¢ a cigarette on 1 January 2026.
And then sales tax
Sales tax applies on top of all of it. Ontario charges 13% HST; New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island 15%; Nova Scotia 14% since April 2025. Quebec adds 5% GST plus 9.975% QST, British Columbia 5% plus 7% PST, Manitoba 5% plus 7%, Saskatchewan 5% plus 6%. Alberta and the three territories charge 5% GST only.
What that adds up to
Take Ontario, the cheapest province for tobacco tax. A carton of 200 carries:
Federal excise duty$38.92
Ontario tobacco tax$36.95
Tobacco tax before sales tax$75.87
HST at 13%On top
Tobacco, manufacturing, distribution, retail marginThe remainder
In British Columbia the same two taxes come to $103.92. In Yukon $112.92. In Nunavut $118.92 — nearly three times what a native carton costs us to sell.
Why cigarettes keep getting more expensive
Two things push the price up on a schedule. Federal excise duty is indexed to inflation and adjusts every 1 April, so it rises in most years whether or not anything else changes. Provincial rates then move separately with each budget — Yukon raised its rate in January 2026, Nunavut in March 2025.
Because sales tax is charged on the price after tobacco taxes are built in, every increase in excise or provincial tax also increases the sales tax collected on the same pack. The rises compound.
Why native cigarettes cost less
Our cigarettes are made at First Nations manufacturing facilities and sold under Indigenous tobacco rights, which means the provincial tobacco tax structure above doesn’t apply, and there’s no retail markup between the factory and you. What’s left is close to what the product actually costs to make.
