Switching brands or rolling your own is a good start. The makers of Marlboro have been kissing anti's ass since the Masters Settlement Agreement and they are responsible for pushing FDA control. Of course you can do what you want, but I sure as hell wouldn't patronize a company that is sticking to me.
I got my fill of taxes with the SCHIP program when my RYO tobacco went from $15.70 a lb. bag to $40. I'm now growing my own and intend to stock pile each year. As I see it, it a matter of time before they go after growers. This is my first crop and it'll be ready to harvest in less than a month. I'm not sure what it will taste like but just knowing I'm finally sticking to anti has got to add to the flavor. |

Or just go over the stateline to get them..
Utah, just north has only 69.5 cents a pack tax, compared to the 200 cents AZ has, New mexico has 91 cents, 80 cents in Nevada, 87 in CA, and 84 in Colorado. If you pick up 3 or more cartons at once, the price difference pays for the gas. |
