New Yorkers Jumping The Border For Cigarettes

As we all know too well, New York has decided to raise the taxes on cigarettes again.  This time some New Yorkers are saying that it is just too much.  They have decided to go to Massachusetts to get their cigarettes now.  The prices there are usually $2 cheaper than the cigarettes in New York.

Sounds good to me if you don’t factor in the gas costs, but when they are going across the border they are purchasing cigarettes in bulk.  The local convenience stores aren’t really the ones benefiting from the travelers, it is more the big box stores that are seeing the increase in new visitors.

Maybe it is time for a vacation to the state of Massachusetts if you are close enough to make the trip worth it, or you could just buy your cigarettes here on this site and get them for a discount with out the taxes that go with it.  Hmmm I would say stay home and get them here.
