it's only smuggling when you hide it, right? Is it against the law to buy cigarettes in one state and smoke them in another? just curious
To: kattracks
These increases will exacerbate an already seriousinterstate-smuggling problem, which has been linked to terrorist activity.If so, the terrorists may be impinging on the
prerogatives of the Mafia. Watch for
Bin Laden to get kneecapped by someone
named Benny the Drill.

Is it against the law to buy cigarettes in one state and smoke them in another?According to some states, yes.
Washington state hiked it's taxes up and people on the border with Idaho started driving to Idaho to buy their cigarettes. Washington state said that if they catch them they will prosecute.
