Well, they seem to have the NY rate right. A roll of Ettans lös gave me $15.30 in taxes. What was that again about how much it sucks to be in NY? 46% wholesale tax, and guys, I'm pretty sure Northerner's prices are wholesale. So, a roll costs me $45 and change now. Four or five cans a week like I usually do, still works out cheaper than my old 3 packs a day with smokes.

Well, apparently there is one good this about living in Alabama.

Thunder Frosted Extra Stark, Strong Portion 10 $ 1.00 $ 19.30 $ 19.30 (0%)
UPS Ground 1 $ 0.00 $ 12.19 $ 12.19 (0%)
Total weight: 1.034 lbs
Items: $ 19.30
Tobacco tax: $ 1.00
Discount (2%): $ 0.40
Delivery from US-PA: $ 12.19
Total: ~$ 32.09
Charged in USD: $ 32.09


But it seems like they are charging tax incorrectly. There is no way that this is 1 LB of actual tobacco. Maybe they are charging on the shipping weight?

You know the cigarette tax hike approved last week? Goes in to effect July 1? It included a smokeless tobacco hike from 46% to 75%

High tobacco taxes in Virginia? Just shows how insane the world has become.

All this explains why legalization of recreational drugs might not be such a swell thing. Inevitably the Feds would tax legal transactions so heavily that they'd just replace one black market with another. I can see it now--Coast Guard cutters chasing two thousand horsepower oversized speedboats filled with tons of plastic wrapped loose snus destined for clandestine dives known as "snuseasies".

Hell's yeah, can I pilot the boats, there'd be no better way to die than doing a buck fifty on the water, Yeeeee haw.

This is the right tax amount for Texas.
I think I will be able to manage as long as they dont get any high ideas down in Austin.

[LaZeR]

I don't get it. Why is everyone making their snus orders cost like 3x the product?
