NEW YORK, March 7 — Thousands of New Yorkers who bought cigarettes on the Internet without paying sales taxes will be reordered to pay a collective $33 million that went unpaid, officials said.
City lawyers say New York loses millions of dollars a year from unpaid taxes on Internet cigarette purchases. They have gone after the online dealers with a series of lawsuits in recent years.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced Tuesday that the city reached a settlement with Virginia-based eSmokes. The company will provide the names and addresses of New York customers from 2000 to 2003, when a state ban on Internet sales took effect.

That is the most complicated set of rules I have ever seen.
I'd claim ignorance and say, "No habla Ingles." and I'd probably be given a pass on the entire smoking thing.
