NYC raid yields counterfeit cigarettes

The way we're treating tobacco, the next shipment will be from Columbia ... and the same folks who brought us the "War on Drugs" will bring us the "War on Tobacco".

Authorities seized nearly 600,000 packs of cigarettes with brand names like Marlboro and Newport, half of which are suspected of being counterfeits from China, prosecutors announced Monday.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
