An Upstate tobacco shop owner declared that smokers can buy cigarettes without paying state and federal taxes because of a tax gap. M.J. Farah, owner of Jake’s One Stop in Pelzer, is offering clients the chance to even roll their own smoking products. “The customers are taking only advantage of the taxes cut. They don’t have to pay the high taxes on the smokes if they are making their own favorite cigs,” explained Farah. Farah recently brought three new cigarettes making machines especially for smoking customers. He was already trading roll-your-own tobacco products, but the new cigarette machines will save the customers time and of course will save their money.
