for what reason dose Rameys village maket charge .25 cents more for cigerits?

Answer 1

Well, stores can charge what they like--if people pay it, then it isn't exorbitant or anything. Prices are usually based on what the market will bear.

But often, communities have "sin taxes" levied on items like alcohol and tobacco products. Usually, a community will need some money for something or other, and rather than raise sales tax in general, they might raise taxes on a certain item like alcohol and tobacco because they know people are addicted to them and they'll pay quite a bit for them.

In my area, several counties and towns are "dry", meaning they don't sell alcohol at all, or they only sell beer (no liquor) or they only sell beer in stores (but not by-the-glass at bars or restaurants.) Three or four of them are voting on whether or not to stay dry or change their alcohol-selling rules. Your town might have enacted some kind of sin tax--it's often legislature that rules the price of vice items.
