Your wrong. Cigarette smuggling was a major source of funding for Hezbullah (sp?). A huge ring was busted in Charlotte NC. The bought them here in NC, VA, and other low tax states here in the south and shipped them north to sell for profit, which went to terrorists.

You missed Con's point. Cig smugglers exist because the sale of cigs has almost become illegal thus allowing for smugglers to -well smuggle! and make money from the trade.
