In an age when everyone wants their pet projects to be funded by tobacco taxes, personally, I couldn't care less if smokers found ways to avoid paying the taxes they've been burdoned with.
My argument that growing tobacco and then expecting a slap on the wrist when the revenuers find out about it is wishful thinking. Case in point, when Eliot Spitzer was AG of New York, he seized the customer records of internet tobacco sales and then sent the customers a tax bill with interest and penalties and garnished the wages of those who didn't immediately fork over the money, many owing thousands of dollars.
And yeah, I have a feeling you'd agree wholeheartedly with Spitzer on this.
I’ll put you in the approve of tax cheats column.
