House Bill 1814, by Rep. Danny Hilliard, D-Sulphur, cheap cigarettes online store would make the state the "point of sale" for all tobacco products delivered through the mail or parcel post, making what had been tax-free smoking items subject to the levy.

Most of the money would go cheap cigarettes online store to the highway maintenance fund.

Ferguson said many Oklahoma bridges don't meet cheap cigarettes online store safety standards, and the state is strapped for maintenance money.
"If people don't want better highways, they can vote against this. But I think people ought to pay for what they use," Ferguson said.
