This could be a double definition.

'high' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'cost of cigarettes?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for packet that I've seen before include "bomb" , "Large amount of money" , "Container; much money" , "Data transmission unit - large sum" , "Parcel - mail boat" .)
