Think of it this way: the lawmakers use the smoker's tax dollars to balance their budgets and to keep their pet programs running.

They'll have to catch me first!

At least a few of their pet programs will cost a good deal less.

A lot less then what?  Didn't you read the post up above of just how much smokers are contributing to the revenue in California?  That doesn't mean anything to you?

The state is quite used to raping in all that money to their coffers.  When the smokers start buying elsewhere, someone else is going to have to cough up that money.  The lawmakers aren't going to give up their pet programs so easily.  And you can count on it.
