Not true. Out of state sales are not taxed by the home state.
"Out of state sales are not taxed by the home state."
Name a tobacco-producing state that doesn't collect tax on tobacco. These states also collect the tax from distributors. Read the various state laws.
Look on the bottom of cigarette packs bought on-line. You'll see a state tax stamp. The only exception I'm aware of is South Carolina which requires no stamp, but the sales taxes are collected in the state before sale.
