Federal authorities believe cigarettes are being bought or stolen in Virginia and North Carolina, where they are among the least expensive in the country, and sold in states like New York and New Jersey where high taxes have pushed prices to an all-time high.

Hmmmmm, wonder what difference it makes how high the taxes are or where if you're stealing them...seems more efficient to steal them in NY, sell them there and save the gas.

Ok, my guess is that the more expensive that they are, the more security is put into protecting them. Like diamonds vs diamonique.
