Damn the nanny state, unwittingly opening a door of funding for terrorism. Damn them all

I remember 30 yrs ago at the plant I worked at in Ohio - it was common to see Kentucky (low tax) cigs openly being sold by the carton out of car trunks.
Still goes on here in Indiana, although much more stealthy.

If they would just make tobacco products legal for adults and tax the h#ll out of them, this kind of stuff wouldn't happen!

Oh, wait...*Smirk* ;)

LOL.......tell me about it :)

[mysterio]

So high cigarette taxes aid terrorists. Whodathunkit?

Another reason why the antis must be stopped.

You are correct...however the antis do not see it in the same light. They refuse to acknowlege their complicity in this and choose only to blame the "drug addicted smokers" for the problem.

Now, some states are tracking down people who buy cigs over the internet. The states are addicted to cig taxes.
