I have always thought the tobacco industry should pick just one state.... say New York, and refuse to sell tobacco in any form there. Just plain cut them off.

Then see how well the politicos like it... no cigarette taxes, all the border states raking in the taxes, and lots and lots and lots of addicts screaming at them day and night. (spoken as a former addict/ but still smoker’s rights advocate)

That is a brilliant idea.

It can not be done because of the Master Settlement Agreement, at least not by the signatories to the MSA. Not until at least 2024 when the agreement expires.

Not New York. I think they're over $5 a pack there now, everyone goes out of state to buy them and bring them back. Then they have to search for somewhere that the Smoking Gestapo won't find them engaging in legal activity.

New York is immune to taxes. It's like they thrive on being robbed by the State.
