    oh yeah its a big thing.. haha thats another thing, while were talking about gas stations.. Theres one i i stop at pretty regularly and theres been a few times, theres about 4-6 people in there buying every carton of newports they can and they all go get in the same vehicle... Taking them up to new york is what ive been told, way cheaper here.. Talking about a long wait in line, sometimes what i needed isnt worth the wait or sign i didnt need it ha

    When I was a smoker there were places that sold them w/o the tax stamp, those were black market.

    Weeds legal here in MO.
    If professionals who's careers depend on catching fish use FFS then that's what I'm using. Might be too simple of a philosophy but makes sense to me.

    The mob used to make big money smuggling cigarettes from southern tobacco states where the cig tax was very low to northeastern states like NY where the cig taxes were very high. Same thing happens when people would smuggle cigs into Canada. One of the first times I was ever pulled over in Fort Erie Canadian customs when towing my boat the officer wanted to see inside the boat and compartments. Of course, I was perfectly legal. After his inspection he told me that some guys will load their boat with cigs and sell them in Canada and pay for their trip with the profits.

    There's lots of decaffeinated brands that are just as tasty as the real thing.
