I think I'd smuggle mine from Mexico if the internet didn't exist. All my friends order off the internet too so my state loses all that tax money that they were so greedy for.

The NYPD formed a new unit, the Cigarette Interdiction Group, to handle the expected upturn. Yet 146 arrests, and the seizure of $250,000 and some 6 million cigarettes, seem to have had little deterrent effect.What do the cops sell them for? Or do they just smoke them? It's not like they're just going to throw them out.
Bloomberg could have found something a bit more worthwhile for these guys to pursue. What an absolute waste of time.

Another Tobacco related Crime, Drive by Smoking!!I have seen no mention of the latest second hand smoke threat, the drive by smoking. In many areas of the country this horrendous crime is on the upswing. A perfectly healthy smoke gnatzie (5'4" 275 lb) is standing on a street corner. Suddenly a car stops with the windows down and smokers inside waiting for the light to change. While this is happening the smoke gnatzie is exposed to huge amounts of second hand smoke. The light changes and the criminals drive away. Who can the smoke gnatzie sue for damages? In most cities these crimes are committed by smoke gangs, "The Menthols, The Non-Menthols, The Filters, The Non-Filters, The Regulars, and The Kings. Something must be done and soon. If not for us all, for the children.

We already have 2 million people in prison, all we need is to start adding to that crowd due to a stupid tax. When cigarettes are outlawed....
