Cigarettes are illegal but marijuana is legal. Marriage is no good for heterosexuals, but fine for gays. Free health care is wonderful, even though you can't get it.
Seems logical.

LOL.
To: SheLion
I actually had to vote, "No," on that poll. Buying contraband items is against the law.
Growing my own tobacco, however, is not.

$600,000 in real estate. That's quite a haul.

$600,000 in real estate. That's quite a haul.I figured there was money in it, but it's on the wrong side of the law.

Results ... if one can call such limited numbers that ... as of 1:50 EDST:
Would you buy contraband cigarettes to save money?
Yes. 68%
No. 32%
Total Votes for this Question: 1267
BTW & not that anyone asked me but ...
I'll begin taking the whole notion of taxing known "health hazards" seriously once I see similar onerous taxes levied against gay bath houses, etc. and on whatever establishments the morbidly obese frequent.

Akwesasne? So this cigarette ring has been brought to you by the St. Regis Indian tribe? If that's the case, why doesn't the article mention it?
I think that members of certain Indian tribes get the right to bypass customs checks at the border by treaty. That makes their reservations ripe for smuggling stuff from the U.S. to Canada and vice versa.
