Nov. 2, 2012 update:
In Manitoba, Canada (prices vary province to province):
Generally, a pack of 25 cigarettes is between $12.50 and $15.00 or more depending on where you buy them, which "quality" / brand you purchase. I've paid as much as $16.50 at a gas station!
If you don't smoke, don't start. You could use the 1/4 million you'll spend on them towards a real sweet retirement. That said....
Popular brands such as Export, duMaurier, Players, Matinee, Benson Hedges are generally around the $15 & up range, while brands like Canadian, Peter Jackson and (from the other answer) Rothman's have a lower price which varies store to store but are about $12.50 and up.
Where you purchase them can make a huge difference. You'll spend the most buying at a hotel, bar or gas station convenience store (except Domo). Buying by the carton (8 packs of 25 = 200 cigs) will save you most.
Buying across the border in the US will save you quite a lot. Buying tobacco and cigarette tubes & rolling yourself will save you the most if you are a smoker in Canada.
Do not buy cigarettes from illegal sources such as First Nation Reserves unless you are entitled to.
