Honest question: in tobacco growing regions, people would be able to grow tobacco plants in their backyards and thus be able to produce "moonshine tobacco", bypassing the high taxation of tobacco. Is this a thing? I've only ever seen commercially produced tobacco smuggled from a lower tax jurisdiction, but I live far from tobacco growing regions.
- DanBC 12y agoThat is an interesting question. A quick search shows a few websites saying that it's legal (in the US) and trying to sell seeds for tobacco. I guess it's only when you start distributing the product that people get involved. Isn't it similar to fry-oil? If the owner pays for it to be disposed of that's one thing, but if the owner sells it off for someone to use in their car then someone wants tax?
