More than a quarter of the cigarettes smoked in Utah — 26.8 percent — are smuggled in because tobacco taxes here are so much higher than in neighboring states.
Studies released this week by the Tax Foundation and the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, a Michigan think tank, say Utah ranked No. 8 among all states for inbound cigarette smuggling in 2014, the most recent year for which data are available.
