Looks to me like snuff or "dip" should be taxed just like cigs, beer, wine, gas, etc.. built into the price...all at the same rate, and the customer only sees the reatil price and pays it along with the sales tax and life goes on. Hell can you imagine if our sales tax was ad valorem (like you suggest is so great).

That’s a nice trick. Why doesn't UST just lower its prices if they want to get more customers? Go figure some big corporation from Connecticut (figures damn Yankee’s) is trying to screw me in order to make more money… Makes me want to spit! Oh wait, I do that anyway.

Why should low cost producers not have the same tax as UST? I like Copenhagen. I paid $4.50 a can in La La land a few weeks ago. Then I had a friend bum 2 dips from me. That's pretty expensive.
