By Eric F. Say Variety News Staff HAGATNA -- The newly signed $206 billion dollar tobacco settle­ ment will soon have smokers digging deeper into their pockets in order to enjoy the habit. It is estimated that the price of a pack of cigarettes will soon increase by 45 cents per pack to somehow compensate for the costs cigarette makers are to incur in settling U.S. states' claims for reimbursement for providing health care to sick smokers. Two of the nation's largest tobacco manufacturers, R.J. Reynolds and Philip Morris, have announced that they will be raisino their . b wholesale prices. No date, however, has been given. What that means for Guam smokers is that a p;ck of cigarettes may soon cost about $2.20-$2.50 per pack. In the CNMI, where a pack of cigarettes currently costs between $2. I 0-$2.75, an increase would widen the retail price disparity with Guam even more, although their price levels ar~ still substantially lower than the U.S. mainland's. The average price of cigarettes in the mainland is $3.50, according to tobacco analysts.But the increase may make the cost to buy a pack of smoke break the $4 mark.
