Imigration in America

[Delc]

Illegally smuggled cigarettes are much cheaper than legal ones, and sin tax free. What would be different? Bootleg liquor is cheaper than the legal, and highly taxed stuff. Once government, and the pharma companies are involved, they will not be able to make the price competitive with what is available on the street. The illegal trade will continue.

Yea, the gang violence over cigarette and alcohol territory is insane. Oh wait, it doesn't exist in any significant amount. What sort of market share do you think untaxed cigarettes and alcohol have? A couple percent maybe? Even with untaxed cigarettes being a fraction of the cost of legal ones, people still buy the taxed ones. Why? Because the risk and effort aren't worth it. You really think the majority of people would rather talk to some back alley thug to save a couple bucks than swing by the gas station?
