I have a question regarding the Indians selling tobacco. If they can gamble, etc. on their reservations because it's considered their jurisdiction, I don't see how anyone can stop them from selling cigaretts over the internet -- can't they use the same law that lets them set up gambling to exempt them from whatever nonsense the state's have set up on tobacco sales? I don't really understand the law in this area, but it looks to me like the states might not be able to stop this.

Like one Chief outside of New York City said: until cigarettes are illegal, leave me alone. The FBI also ask him how many cigarettes did he sell in a day: he told them Its none of your business.
