Can we draw the following hypothesis from the context? 

Context:

As a result of the increased taxes announced on February 13, 1998, excise taxes on cigarettes and tobacco sticks vary from $2.25 to $5.35 for a carton of cigarettes and from $1.85 to $2.93 for a carton of tobacco sticks, depending in which province the tobacco products are offered for sale.

Hypothesis: This variance in price is unsusual for tobacco goods
