"Apparently, many smokers don't care about orderly government when their precious tobacco is at stake."

Do you consider a smoker who quits to avoid paying the tax a criminal?

There are a number of factors that need to be present before a criminal act takes place. However do I have a problem with people like these Internet vendors who encourage people to break the laws implying that its legal to do so ? Yes, very much. Do I have a problem with tobacco users encouraging others to break laws while making it sound right and risk less , you bet.

Do I have a problem with people who use the breaking of the law as a political statement knowing full well the consequences and being prepared to take those consequences, No. I admire them but the others who do it for personal gain and who get others to do so are scum.

LOL One more cigarette tax hike in Indiana, and I'm making a wetsuit out of nicotine patches, and those A-holes who blew away a billion-dollar state budget surplus in 2 years can kiss my hairy butt!
