Before a store adds the cost of the cigarettes, its margin or HST, a pack of 20 in New Brunswick already carries $9.00 in federal and provincial tobacco tax. A pack of 25 carries $11.24, and a carton of 200 carries $89.96. That is less than in the Prairie provinces, British Columbia and Nova Scotia, and more than in Quebec or Ontario. Native cigarettes at Native Nicotine start at $5.49 a pack and $45 a carton, with delivery across New Brunswick.
Below is the exact tax in each pack size, how the taxes work, and current native cigarette prices. All rates were checked against government sources on November 10, 2026.
Two tobacco taxes are built into every legal store pack in New Brunswick: the federal excise duty and New Brunswick’s tobacco tax. HST of 15% is then charged at the till.
| Pack size | Federal excise duty | New Brunswick tobacco tax | Tobacco tax before HST |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pack of 20 | $3.89 | $5.10 | $9.00 |
| Pack of 25 | $4.86 | $6.38 | $11.24 |
| Carton of 200 (10 packs of 20) | $38.92 | $51.04 | $89.96 |
Rates as of November 2026: federal $0.97299 per 5 cigarettes and New Brunswick 25.52¢ per cigarette. Totals are calculated before rounding, so a column can differ from the sum of its parts by a cent.
The shelf price is that tax plus the manufacturer’s price, the wholesaler’s and retailer’s margins, and 15% HST on top. The tobacco tax alone works out to about 45¢ a cigarette before anything else is added. Store prices vary by brand and by store, so we show the tax that every store pack must carry rather than quoting one store’s shelf price.
A carton holds 10 packs of 20, or 200 cigarettes. In a store carton, $38.92 goes to federal excise duty and $51.04 to New Brunswick tobacco tax: $89.96 before the cigarettes themselves are paid for and before HST.
Native Nicotine prices are the same anywhere in New Brunswick, from Moncton, Saint John and Fredericton to Bathurst and rural towns. Shipping is $19, and free on orders of $149 or more.
| Quantity | Most brands | BB and disCOUNT | Lowest cost per cigarette |
|---|---|---|---|

| 1 carton (200) | $49 | $45 | 22.5¢ |
| 5 cartons (1,000) | $225 | $199 | 19.9¢ |

“Most brands” covers Canadian Classics, Playfare’s, Canadian, Rolled Gold and Nexus. BB and disCOUNT are the lowest-priced brands. Prices were checked on November 10, 2026 and can change, so the product page always shows the current price.
In a store, the tax per cigarette is the same whatever the pack size, so a pack of 25 is not a tax saving. It simply holds five more cigarettes, and $2.25 more tax. Any difference in price per cigarette comes from the brand and the store’s own pricing.
New Brunswick’s tobacco tax is lower than in Western Canada and Nova Scotia, but higher than in Quebec and Ontario. Here is how the tax in a pack of 20 compares, using the same federal duty for every province:
| Province | Provincial tax per cigarette | Tobacco tax in a pack of 20 |
|---|---|---|
| Newfoundland and Labrador | 32.5¢ | $10.39 |
| British Columbia | 32.5¢ | $10.39 |
| Alberta | 30¢ | $9.89 |
| Manitoba | 30¢ | $9.89 |
| Nova Scotia | 29.52¢ | $9.80 |
| Saskatchewan | 29¢ | $9.69 |
| New Brunswick | 25.52¢ | $9.00 |
| Quebec (in French) | 20.9¢ | $8.07 |
| Ontario | 18.475¢ | $7.59 |
