The last time this was done, NASCAR was born. Junior Johnson and a host of others were bootleggers for white lightening.

What might come from tobacco bootlegging?

Last time I was in Ukraine a couple of years ago Marlboros sold for $0.60/pack. In Dubai, Marlboros are $10/carton. It's only a matter of time before people in the smuggling business start filling up boats with foreign-purchased smokes.

Lawmakers are killing the golden goose with a combination of higher tobacco taxes and further smoking restrictions. The need 21 million new smokers and every existing smoker just to pay for SCHIP and in me they just lost a 23 year smoker when I finally threw in the towel last year and quit.
