How much is a pack of cigarettes in Alberta? Before a store adds the price of the cigarettes, its margin or GST, a pack of 20 already carries $9.89 in federal and Alberta tobacco tax. A pack of 25 carries $12.36, and a carton of 200 carries $98.92. Alberta has no provincial sales tax, but its tobacco tax is among the highest in Canada. Native cigarettes at Native Nicotine start at $5.49 a pack and $45 a carton, with delivery across Alberta. For every province side by side, see cigarette prices in Canada by province.
Below is the exact tax in each pack size, how Alberta compares with BC and Ontario, and current native cigarette prices.
Two tobacco taxes are built into every legal store pack in Alberta: the federal excise duty and Alberta’s tobacco tax. The 5% GST is then charged on the shelf price. Alberta does not charge a provincial sales tax.
| Pack size | Federal excise duty | Alberta tobacco tax | Tobacco tax before GST |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 20 | $3.89 | $6.00 | $9.89 |
| Pack of 25 | $4.86 | $7.50 | $12.36 |
| Carton of 200 (10 packs of 20) | $38.92 | $60.00 | $98.92 |
Rates as of November 2026: federal $0.97299 per 5 cigarettes (since April 1, 2026); Alberta 30¢ per cigarette, or $60 per carton of 200 (since March 1, 2024).
Add the manufacturer’s price, the wholesaler’s and retailer’s margins, and 5% GST, and the shelf price climbs well past the tax alone. The tax works out to about 49¢ a cigarette before anything else is added. Store prices vary by brand and by store, so we show the tax every legal store pack must carry rather than quoting one store’s shelf price.
A carton holds 10 packs of 20, or 200 cigarettes. In an Alberta store carton, $38.92 goes to federal excise duty and $60.00 to Alberta tobacco tax: $98.92 before the cigarettes are paid for and before GST.
At Native Nicotine, cartons of 200 start at $45 for BB and disCOUNT, and $49 for Canadian, Canadian Classics, Nexus, Playfare and Rolled Gold. Shop all cartons.
Federal excise duty. Ottawa charges $0.97299 for every 5 cigarettes. The rate is adjusted every April 1; the current rate took effect on April 1, 2026.
Alberta tobacco tax. Alberta charges 30¢ per cigarette, which is $60 per carton of 200. The province raised the rate by 2.5¢ per cigarette on March 1, 2024.
GST. The 5% GST applies to the shelf price. Alberta has no PST, so GST is the only sales tax on cigarettes in the province.
| Alberta | British Columbia | Ontario | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Provincial rate per cigarette | 30¢ | 32.5¢ | 18.475¢ |
| Tax in a pack of 20 | $9.89 | $10.39 | $7.59 |
| Tax in a carton of 200 | $98.92 | $103.92 | $75.87 |
| Sales tax on top | 5% GST | 5% GST + 7% PST | 13% HST |
The federal duty is the same everywhere, so the differences come from each province’s own tobacco tax. See the full breakdowns for cigarette prices in BC and cigarette prices in Ontario, or compare every province in our guide to cigarette prices in Canada.
