Minneapolis cigarettes and tobacco products now cost a minimum of $15 per pack

(Minneapolis, MN) -- The Minneapolis City Council has passed an amendment raising the price of tobacco products, including cigarettes, to $15 per pack.

This move, aimed at deterring smoking and reducing addiction-related harm, makes this the most expensive price in the country.

While advocates applaud the measure as a public health win, some shop owners voice concerns about its potential impact on their businesses.
