Oh yeh. Help the states stick it to the smokers.
If I hadn't already started stuffing my own I'd be forced to start after THIS BS.
I used to smoke Marlboro mediums. If I still did I'd be forced to switch.
Phillip Morris can kiss am a$$.
Does anyone know what food products Phillip Morris puts out? I'd sure like to try to not buy them.

Off Topic a little, I just got a response to my e-mail to New York City council....... anyone else. ?

It appears that PM is only interested in seeing that we pay the enourmous tax increases and raised cigarette prices so that we, the smokers, are paying off their (PMs) stab in the back to their loyal customers.

Pressure must be brought to bear on them in one way or another or from many angles at once.

I'm sick of it.

I'm nobody's pratboy.

Are you?

Any ideas here?

Good grief! Philip Morris has not only crawled into bed with the Federal Government, they're married to them.

The boycott is on!

The suits also allege that many Internet vendors sell cigarettes without complying with laws regarding excise-tax payments, while claiming that their products are tax exempt.

As I understand it, it's legal to sell tax free via web, as long as you don't buy more than two cartons at a time.

I just checked out the yesmoke.com website. No wonder the cig companies are pissed. They're selling Marlboro cartons for $14.95 shipped! I don't smoke, but I have friends who do. They'll be hearing about this tonight.
