Good News For Smokers In Mississippi,

the auditor's office and State Tax Commission are going to auction 855,000 cartons of contraband cigarettes,

thousands of cases of cigarettes were discovered in a warehouse in Mississippi, the FBI said the raids are part of an ongoing investigation into a tobacco black market with ties to Mississippi, Kentucky and South Carolina, the estimated value of the seized cigarettes is $20 million, state officials say their sale could yield more than $5 million in unpaid state taxes,

now here's the thing, everybody in government tells us how bad smoking is, so should they not be destroyed to save people from this killing habit or is it OK for the state to make money from killing it's citizens?
