Cigarettes is exactly what I was thinking of for comparison. Most of the price is sin taxes. Remove those and the actual product costs nearly nothing to make. Sales of loose cigarettes is still a thing today where people are moving them from reservations or foreign countries.
- ceejayoz 1y agoSmuggled Dutch tea was something like 80% of the tea on the market. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Act > Smuggled tea was a large issue for Britain and the East India Company, since approximately 86% of all the tea in America at the time was smuggled Dutch tea. That's not the case for cigarettes. If it were anything like that percentage, you can bet the Feds would care more.
