See article in WSJ today how in NY that the tax is so high that it now is creating a new criminal enterprise of smuggling. Over 45% or so of cigarettes are smuggled in and a crook can make $1,000,000 on one truck load. Also some of the ill gotten gains are going to fund terrorism groups.
There is nothing dumber than a politician!
