I was thinking of you this morning, SheLion.
On this morning's news there was a story which claimed cigarette sales in the United States is the lowest it's been since 1951. That's when I recalled some of your postings about people who "roll their own" and I wondered just how many people are doing that now and if that had something to do with these numbers.
I did meet some people from German not that long ago and in that group of five, four were making their own cigarettes.

from German? At least I didn't write "some people from Hunger."

I just knew that when smokers rolled their own and/or went across borders to buy cigarette, and the state wasn't getting that revenue, then the AG would gleefully laugh and spew out "See? Our war on cigarettes is winning! People aren't smoking much anymore."
Lying bast*&ds. Hate the creeps.

"Unfairly cheated of revenues?" How come the city doesn't think taxing citizens is unfairly cheating tax payers of their earnings?
Roll your own and continue to "cheat" the governmant. More power to you!

When camping in France (I know, what a mistake) in 1982 we ran into some Dutch folks who were rolling their own. I could never imagine doing this as at the time we were paying $6.00 for a carton of Marlboros at the commissary while they were paying the equivalent of $20.00.
Fast forward 20 years to a point where now *I* was rolling my own till I quit.
