The next step for many of the smokers around here has become to roll their own cigarettes. The tax hasnt been levied against the tobacco so the cost of a huge can costs only a few bucks.

The next obstacle for the die hard cheapazz smoker will then be making their own rolling paper.

There very well may also be some rural entrapreneur that would like to work from home rolling cigs in bulk rather than put up with the shitjob. Think about it. Is it feasable you could make and sell cigs for 18k a year full time? I'm amazed there arent people doing that now.
