Shisha smuggling must be big business! I've never knowingly bought tobacco that fell off the back of a truck. :lol:

Hmm, I think most of us would agree that Hookah is not part of what we are here. Still, it should be a fun fire when they ignite that goopy stuff.

Heck, I never even knew Peck was into water pipe tobacco!

The future will see Tobacco being hammered with every law/tarrifs/taxes they can find. We are hated by 99% of people. While pot will become more of stopping off at the store. They're only hated by about 40% of people :crazy:

The people that create the black market bitch about the criminal activity that results from their draconian legislation..too rich! :crazy:

Exactly.
They get an F in logic!

LOL
Maybe some weird karma?

Liquor could, however, be legally produced in Canada (but not sold there) and legally exported out of Canadian ports. This created the odd situation of allowing smugglers to depart Canada with shiploads of alcohol destined for their 'dry' neighbour, under the protection of Canadian law. Smuggling, often accompanied by violence, erupted in border areas and along the coastlines. Political cartoons in newspapers showed leaky maps of Canada with Uncle Sam attempting to stem the alcoholic tide.

According to police, members of aboriginal organized crime groups helped the Mafia import the tobacco and sell it on the territory of Kahnawake.
Police have seized 40,000 kilograms of tobacco worth $7 million on the black market.
Investigators also seized more than $450,000 in cash.

Funny, If you look at the smoke coming out of that gun I'll bet it's a cigarette inside the barrel.
