Are people prohibited by law from buying smokes in another state and bringing them across the state line?

I live in Washington State and here you can bring them across state lines but then you have to pay tax on them using some form. The Indian reservations also say it is the individual's responsibility to pay the tax and even have forms for you. Basically a pack of cigarettes in Washington without their tax stamp is considered contraband.

WA state here too, and I seem to recall police cars sitting outside of Indian reservations looking to stop people and search for cigarettes. What a wonderful state we live in.

LOL. What if one smokes them all before returning home.

Must one still pay the tax on the nicotene in one's system?
