Interesting.
Back in the 60s I worked in an auto plant in Ohio.
At shift change there were peeps selling low taxed Kentucky cigarettes out of their car trunk.
Back in the 1970/1980s there was major smuggling of cigarettes from New York across the border into Canada.
This was back when a pack of smokes in NY was $1.50. They were at least $10 in Canada. They would run speed boats across the Niagara River or Lake Erie from Buffalo to Fort Erie.
At the Indian reservation they were even cheaper because they did not charge the NYS tax. So, they would run boats from the reservation about 25 miles south of Buffalo on the lake shore.
