Smokers need to petition the Tobacco industry to stop selliing cigarettes all together in states that impose an unfair tax on the product. Nobody can force Phillip Morris to sell Marlboros. I guarantee, they quit selling all together, the legislators would change their tune REAL fast.

It's a great idea but someone thought about that when they put together the Master Settlement Agreement. The tobacco companys that signed on for it CAN'T stop selling in ANY of the states that signed that piece of $hit paper.
At least not legally.

Are you joking me? They can't stop selling their product? In other words they must work regardless of whether they want to or not? That's a form of slavery.
