How desperate are these idiot lawmakers. This is the most pathetic attempt to collect money I have ever witnessed in my entire life.

Hardly "pathetic". It is terrifying. The police state in action courtesy of Ubergrupenfuhrer Spitzer. Expect him to outdo himself in the future as New York's next Governor.

Don't like the high taxes on cigarettes in your state?

Afraid to buy over the Internet?

How about rolling your own?  I have rolled my own for over 4 years.  A premium carton in my state runs from $45-$50 for 10 packs.  By rolling my own, I can roll a beautiful carton for under $8.00!!  The savings has been mind boggling and I am no longer paying into the state coffers.  The lawmakers here can pick the money from where the sun don't shine!
