What happens if taxes on cigarettes increase so much that people will stop smoking. What will they tax then?
Reply: Legalize pot, find all sorts of detrimental health hazards and tax pot.
In no time flat will cops wipe out untaxed pot smuggling and lift all those street vendors out of existence.

YOU! States such as Michigan are now losing millions in revenues because smokers are going out of state for their purchases. They are now trying to recover those losses by going after the records of out of state internet sellers to find out who purchased what and when then sending the offenders their estimated tax bills.

Desperation breeds despotism...........

Not to change the subject but the next objective (as witnessed by the Colorado gov.) will be to go after the records of internet merchants to find out who bought what without paying state sales taxes then to go after them as they did with the evil smokers..........LOL!

Yep, them smokers is evil bastards who deserve what they gets...........
