I can buy a carton of Israeli cigarettes for $12 or American for $18. Keep in mind, however, that it is illegal to bring more than one carton of American-made tax-free smokes into the States. I don't know how much you would really be saving for your friend.</font>

Many years ago if you tried to import cigerettes (as in beyond your personal use) you confiscated goods ended up for auction here:

Hardly any ever deals as everyone wanted to say they bought their box of junk, plane, and auto at an auction. To keep this on subject they accept Visa at these auctions: Miles

American Indians and Alaska natives are more likely to smoke than any other group in the United States, with 40 percent of adults defined as smokers, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said this week. People of Chinese descent were the least likely to smoke, with just 12 percent reporting that they had smoked a cigarette in the past month, said the agency survey, which was released on Thursday.

I think that may also have to do with the social economic status of much of the Chinese ethnic population rather than just the ethnicity itself.
When I am overseas in China, smoking is quite rampant.
FWIW

I fly to AMS all the time for the smokes & the miles! 
Prices for cannabis smokes are about half of the US cost. Just don't try to bring them back to the US!
