I could be wrong, but I didn't think sales taxes were charged on any products sold over the internet. Why are they singling out cigarettes?

SCARE TACTICS! They can't. They are hoping they can, but they would have to go after EVERYBODY who sells ANYTHING over the Net. This could take 10 years!!

There is a moritorium on sales taxes on the net; however - cigg taxes aren't considered sales taxes. They are considered budget balancing taxes, since they always come to us to balance their budgets after they ban us from smoking on planes, in air ports, or in bars and resturants.

You have to remember; we aren't really citizens if we smoke; just like we aren't citizens if we are overseas and in the military.

The cost to states can run into the millions, according to the report.

This kind of sh!t drives me insane! This costs the state nothing -- they can just pretend that all smokers that have gone elsewhere for their smokes have simply quit smoking. Wasn't that one of the objectives of the higher taxes?
