under a federal law called the Jenkins Act, tobacco companies who sell their products to out-of-state consumers must report sales information to the state where the consumer lives.

Why is only the tobacco industry subject to these reporting laws? What's next?

Out of state purchases of anything.....Depends on how hard up your state is for money and what they are willing to do to get your taxes

Watch the big time internet sales giants such as L.L.Bean, Cabela's, etc. start getting inquiries from the states such as Michigan for their sales records then start going after the customers. Myself, I was nailed for for tobacco taxes last year and when those bastards get you in their sights, you are guilty even if you can prove your innocence......
