Re:If there's one thing we don't need, it's contraband cigarettes. Good thing the ATF was there to smoke 'em out... ;-)

Is there really people that stupid out there? We have terrorism, gun running, illegal border crossings, etc. all of which are jeapordizing our way of life. The government starts losing money off taxes that they impose on people addicted to a product that they inadvertantly endorse, so they go balls out to stop this. You are as much a dumbass as the government is corrupt. I think Americans need to stand up against our corrupt, dictating, double standard government.

If the government thought that smoking was such a health issue, why not make it illegal, instead of raising taxes and makeing money off the death of americans. Its the law to wear seatbelts because it kills people, yet the govenment allows cigarettes to be legal even though it kills more people. Why, because they are makeing a crapload of money.

I think americans need to stand up for themselves, remember the "Boston Tea Party?"

If people can get away with not paying this corrupt government taxes on cigarettes, all the power to you.
