I am visiting a friend in N.C and my mom likes these special cigarettes that you can’t find in N.Y. I don’t smoke and I was wondering how many I can get away with bringing back to New York?

As long as you are not obvious about what you are doing, you should be albe to get away by transporting 4-6 cartons. That is considered reasonable consumption for an average smoker. That would be one to two month supply.
I would not ship them as they would be subject to NY tax if opened by postal authorities.
