Actually in some states I think the law is even more restrictive in moving things between states because of taxation. I think in some cases there is no allowance, that said, since there is no customs it isnt often enforced. I have read intermittent news stories about someone getting busted however, usually with liquor rather than cigarettes. One I remember was Ohio police nailing someone buying booze in Kentucky and the other was someone in Maryland getting busted buying booze in the District. In both cases from low/no tax areas to higher tax areas.
