Do you think this cigarette tax is unfair and illegal?

You touched on the topic that bothers a good half of Americans! Taxes on cigarettes and alcohol are called 'sin taxes'. Actually the government uses sin taxes to close budget shortfall. This is unfair towards American smokers. Thus being a smoker, finally I decided to said "no" to American cigarettes. I started to order cigarettes online saving more than $40 per each carton. Cigarette online stores sell cigarettes produced and delivered from Eastern Europe where tax policy is favorable and labor cost is cheaper. That's why they can offer reasonable prices.
