The State has never had the right to look at banning a product, like cigarettes. The Constitution never said the State should be involved in legislating a product out of business.
The States and Judicial systems have overrode the Constitution for decades, and noe one has fought it.
So we continue to have these cenors using State taxes to take away what they want to control for more taxing purposes.
If they could tax soft political contrbutions, McCain and company would be overruled.

Many, if not all, of the individual states have had such authority since before the Constitution was established, and I see no reason to believe they do not retain it. The federal government is another story.
