I've recently heard that the price of name brand idiot sticks in CA can go as high as $49 a carton.

What I don't understand is why the tabacco manufacturers don't just boycott NY or CA when they raise taxes? I realize they would loose revenue, but for tabacco companys to be solely taxed, while liquor doesn't seems to be taxed at the same rate, to me seems to be taxation without repensentation! If I were RJR, I would get together with other tabacco companys and pull out of the liberal state markets and let them find another creative source to finance their bloated budgets!
