*USA/Canada* Tobacco Laws and Taxes By State

[GoVegan]

That debt clock spins almost as fast as a gas pump!

Here's why 'baccy taxes are important: http://www.usdebtclock.org/. Unfortunately, I stashed enough that it's gonna be a long time before I can help make a dent.

I am confused about this chart, especially the Pennsylvania listing, why does it state "No Tax", when from my experience whether it was dip or snus, it was taxed either way.

These are additional tobacco taxes per given state in the chart, NOT the normal state tax.

What these taxes mean? If I bring 10 cans of snus for example to Illinois from Europe, do I have to pay taxes?

Sorry for being newbie.

Welcome aboard, Finland.

I doubt you need to worry about this. Gifts are generally not considered taxable.

NY just raised cig taxes by 1.60 and on August 1st smokeless taxes will be raised from 46% of wholesale to 75% of wholesale. Absolutely ridiculous.

I am having all mine sent to New Hampshire and Rhode Island then I will pick it up. WTF Assachusettes,,,,,,, dam,,, I thought Ohio sucked? I got a big yard so I may have to start growing.

Yeah. I live in Mass. I got tired of paying over 8 bucks for a pack of smokes. I go to the US Virgin Islands every winter...2 bucks a pack there.

Is Texas At a good rate? 1.10 no idea If that's good or bad lol

I think it was at a pretty good rate, then they recently (?) added a surcharge to pay for rural doctors.

First time I don't mind living in Alabama. At .9 ounces per can, what do that come to? Almost nothing? I can live with that.

You got that right!

Several Missouri legislatures want to make it worse for us, but the folks representing rural "Missurah" fight it every time.

Something tells me that they will find some way to round up the wholesale price rather than charge tax on the real wholesale price. Most distributors don't want you to know what their wholesale price is and my guess is the states will look the other way if the taxes work out in their favor. I would probably figure about 3 to 4 bucks a can as being wholesale to be on the safe side but I hope I am wrong about that.

[GENERAL BILLY]

Does anyone know what the wholesale price is? If not I guess we will find out when we see what the state tax works out to be.
