My understanding is, and I am not a smoker and have never purchased at a rez, that you can pay cash and walk out. NO WA state tax is taken because they do not pay WA state any takes off Rez sales. That is my understanding. WA state has one of the strongest and widest NO smoking in clubs and restaurants in the country. But, you can smoke in any Rez casino or restaurant.

So far, unless that pit bull Elliot Spitzer happens to be your AG, anybody can buy smokes from Native Americans. They are not technically subject to the Jenkins Act as a sovereign nation.
But white men like Spitzer and Bloomberg have ass raped the Native Americans for 500 years. Why would this be different? I don't know, time will tell.
Like I've said before, if the folks on the religion threads are right, and there is indeed a just and merciful God, than the Native Americans will get rich off the crop they originally cultivated....while the greedy Big Tobacco companies and their partners in crime in the States that are addicted to MSA and tobacco excise money...become really poor.
