Online Cigarette Sales are a hot topic
By Aaron Wall,

This is one of the most important current online battles going on between
entrepenures and the government. Many people are buying cigarettes online
to avoid exceedingly high taxes.
In raising these taxes the government has created a booming online industry.
They rarely wish to speak of it as just mentioning it can sometimes cost
them hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue.
While there is no clear solution to the governments' problems thousands
of people are saving millions, if not billions of dollars by buying their
cigarettes online.
On a principal level it comes down to the fact that the web is designed
for the free travel of information end to end. No single country can stop
this as even China is increasing in internet exposure every day.
If the US government decides to control the internet it will only be
wasting resources. It will fail.
