18. The net result would probably have been even less tax revenue coming in.

Sure... some smokers would have quit. Others would have simply started buying their smokes online, pick-up a few cartons while traveling out of state (or have an out of state friend or relative ship them some), purchase them at an Indian reservation, etc... there's always a way to beat the system. I live in MA about 20 minutes from the NH border (no sales or "sin tax"),... guess where I buy my cigs :smoke:?
