You are correct. All the states are going to try to find bandits who haven’t paid their due tax on cigarettes because the states have said they rely on this tax to pay for all their programs. Ironically, the Feds gave states millions for smoking cessation classes, where has the money gone?
This whole state after residents who order on line cigarettes needs to be a class action lawsuit because the word on-line purchase is the key. You know the next thing will be going after all internet sales. Must protect our internet purchases at all cost! Yes?
“You know the next thing will be going after all internet sales”
Absolutely correct.
Those who think this is only about tobacco, and will end with tobacco, are truly deluded.
Smokers are a ripe soft target to begin this kind of action with.
Everyone else will soon follow.
Is it really that hard to see?
