NEW YORK - There is no place in the U.S. more expensive to smoke than New York City, where the taxes alone will set you back $5.85 per pack. Yet, addicts who visit Island Smokes, a "roll-your-own" cigarette shop in Chinatown, can walk out with an entire 10-pack carton for under $40, thanks to a yawning tax loophole that officials in several states are now trying to close. The store is one of a growing number around the country that have come under fire over their use of high-speed cigarette rolling machines that function as miniature factories, and can package loose tobacco and rolling papers into neatly formed cigarettes, sometimes in just a few minutes.

A federal district court in Washington has blocked a federal rule requiring graphic warnings to be placed on all cigarette packaging and advertising in the United States. The court issued a preliminary injunction in favor of tobacco companies who sued the Food and Drug Administration, claiming that the new rule requiring warnings - which featured graphic images such as diseased lungs, cancerous mouth sores and an autopsied corpse - was an unconstitutional infringement on free speech.

Hours after key wholesalers began cutting off supplies of major cigarette brands to Indian retailers, a state judge Tuesday temporarily halted the state's ability to collect taxes on those cigarettes. But companies that have supplied the tobacco products to Indian tribes, most notably the Seneca Nation, say they believe the end is near and that the Cuomo administration soon will be able to collect the $4.35-per-pack excise tax that Albany has sought for the past generation.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing an opportunity for public comment on the proposed collection of certain information by the Agency. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA), Federal Agencies are required to publish notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in response to the notice. This notice solicits comments on the Experimental Study of Graphic Cigarette Warning Labels that is being conducted in support of the graphic label provision of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the Tobacco Control Act).

A Bangor man was charged with criminal mischief and two counts of domestic assault Sunday afternoon after he stubbed out a cigarette on the face of one woman and punched another in the mouth, according to Bangor police Sgt. Paul Edwards. Edwards said that when Officer Jason Stuart arrived at a Union Street residence, one of the women demanded that Anthony Bowie, 21, be arrested for pressing a cigarette into her face. An argument had arisen between the two after the woman allowed Bowie enough tobacco to roll his own cigarette. When he took more than she had specified, they began fighting, a lamp was broken, and he put the cigarette out in her face, according to Edwards.

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. - A lawsuit that led to a $10.1 billion verdict against cigarette-making Philip Morris USA before it was tossed out by the Illinois Supreme Court has been revived by a lower court, sending the case back to the county once tagged as among the nation's most lawsuit-friendly turfs. The unanimous ruling Thursday by the three-judge panel of the Mount Vernon-based 5th District Appellate Court cleared the way for the plaintiffs to argue that a favorable 2008 U.S. Supreme Court decision in an unrelated case may be applied to reinstate the questioned Madison County one involving Philip Morris' marketing of "light" cigarettes.
