Nice to see the Government has so much time on their hands to investigate citizens and bill them for on-line smokes, yet there's not enough time to seal the borders and enforce existing immigration laws.

Yea, you got THAT right!

And the postal service and UPS and Fed X is reported to go along with it?  

It just goes to show that the anti smoking movement is NOT about people quitting smoking.  It's about the revenue smoker's provide to the state.  And the state's can't stand it that smoker's are now finding cheaper ways to spend their money.

If the state's weren't such gluttons by continually raising taxes on cigarettes, then the smoker's would have continued to support their state.  But when taxes went so high, the smoker's threw their hands in the air and said 'enough is enough.'

When the lawmakers are too gutless to cut spending, stick it to the smokers and tell them it's for their own good.

If true this will expand organized crime. Mules carrying cigarettes across state lines.
