Have you seen the taxes on cigs? Lots of profit margin there...There is a black market in cigs in those metro areas where the taxes are highest; the lesson is, as you said, to keep taxes lower than that (and regulation low enough for the legal market to meet demand).

Heck, if I had time and connections, I might be smuggling cigs. Nothing more entertaining that undermining urban tax collections.
