You're welcome. BTW, what are the taxes on Cigs and booze in Canada?
If you know.
The US and state Gov. make more on them than the producers!!

"Sin taxes" (taxes on booze & tobacco) are much, much higher in Canada. Cigarette smuggling from the U.S. is a big business.

In addition to federal and provincial sales taxes, alcohol in Canada also is subject to an excise, or "sin," tax at both levels. The average total tax on alcohol in Canada is 83 percent, as opposed to 44 percent in the U.S., according to the Association of Canadian Distillers.

In Canada, between 63 and 79 per cent of the price of a package of cigarettes is tax. In New York, by comparison, the tax on cigarettes is 38 per cent.
