The cigarette tax in New York (And other states) have more or less forced smokers to cross state lines. Deal with the Black Market. Or go online to purchase said items.

The reason Bloomberg is screaming now is that all of the perceived (assumed) taxes from the sale of cigarettes has not happend. For close to ten years now.

Unless the BATF wishes to invade a foreign country. Where most on-line sites are headquartered. Or raid individual homes. I believe that a polite but firm "Pound Sand!" is in order to Hizzoner.

What you New York smoking FReepers ought to do is write a polite letter to these people expressing your disgust over this.

And sift a bit of tobacco into the envelope before closing it up.
