I would think internet cigarette sales would boom.
Also, sales on Indian(native American)reservations would be up huge.
I remember living outside of Buffalo during the 1980’s people would run across Lake Erie and the Niagara River in speed boats smuggling cigarettes into Canada.
If there is a big enough differencein price, someone will figure a way to make a profit.
I’d look for a boom in good old boys Virgina to stop growing pot, plant tobacco, age and cure it, chop it and start selling bags out of the back of trucks like you do see vegetable and shrimp. All cash!!!
Go Dixie!
In my neck of the woods, if you are a resident of Arkansas and you go into Mo. to buy smokes and you buy more than a carton (10 packs) and you get caught, it’s a felony. One extra pack would do it.
Imagine that conversation on the “group W” bench:
“Kid, whatcha in for?”
“Uhhh, I had a carton of Marlboros on the seat and an unopen pack in my shirt pocket....?”
