Not up on my Constitutional law, but I think the “Commerce clause” has been interpreted with enough emanations and penumbras to cover just about anything a judge or justice gets in his mind.

It's been a big organized crime business for years, at least back in the days when North Carolina had no cigarette taxes. I do remember one of the big terrorist arrests was over a group that financed itself by smuggling cigarettes up north.
The story here in North Alabama is that Tennessee will go after anyone who takes more than two cartons across the state line.
