N.Y. is top destination for smuggled cigarettes
A study released in March by a tax group shows an increase in cigarette smuggling to New York, which tops the list as the top smuggling destination and the state with the highest tax rate on cigarettes. New York was also the highest ranked in a similar report last year by the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, a research group based out of Michigan. The Tax Foundation wrote in its March 19 report that the highest inbound cigarette smuggling state was New York followed by Arizona, New Mexico, Washington and Wisconsin. The highest outbound cigarette smuggling state was New Hampshire, followed by Wyoming, Idaho, Virginia and Delaware.
