As a former smoker, I never counted how many smokes I had.

Not to mention, I never knew what pocket it was in. And if I did, I would second guess anything if I found the pack in a different pocket.
Plus, even if Jesse noticed that he had more or less cigarettes than he remembered having, the whole point was to have Jesse realize that someone had gone through the pack and stolen the ricin cig. Wouldn't have made any difference that some other cigarettes had gone missing/been added. The main point would have been achieved regardless.

The part that I find unbelievable is the time frame in which all this happened and the fact that Walt thought to poison Brock despite the fact that his only contact with him previous to that was a split second glimpse he had of him. Maybe if they had shown Walt looking through Jesse's window and watching Jesse and Brock interact with each for a little bit it would have made more sense, but whatever. These are some pretty minor gripes imo.
