Y’know...if you look at “structuring” laws, which say it is illegal to deposit less than $10,000 to avoid being listed as depositing OVER $10,000, I bet some goofy liberal lawyer can come up with the same concept towards avoiding cigarette taxes.
Simply charge NON-smokers the same cigarette tax that smokers pay, on the basis that because they refuse to smoke, they are deliberately avoiding paying the taxes that smokers are paying, and thus structuring their non-smoking habit so as to avoid paying their fair share of society’s ills!
