There is no doubt that outrageous taxes will create black markets just as prohibition will.

Bentway just doesn't know how big cigarette smuggling is. If he did, he'd kick himself for not getting into that years ago. He once bragged here about smuggling dope across the TX-MX border .. how much easier it would have been to fill up a vehicle with cigarette cartons and get on an interstate and drive to another state. Sure, you need the contacts to sell them to, but if OVER 50% of the cigarettes in NY are smuggled in how hard can that be? I see that in TX 34% of the cigarettes sold are smuggled in. I'll bet all of our Pakistani mom and pop convenience stores are selling smuggled cigarettes. www-958.ibm.com taxfoundation.org
