You should be so lucky:And I can smoke all the way to California (where I've heard that they take away your cigarettes at the border).
California Border Protection Stations Activities
Border Station Inspections
Agricultural inspections on all private and commercial vehicles are conducted at sixteen border inspection stations located on major highways throughout the State (six at the Oregon border, five at the Nevada border, and five at the Arizona/Mexico border).
More than 33.5 million vehicles were monitored at the California border agricultural inspection stations in the 2000 calendar year, including 24.5 million automobiles, 6.5 million commercial trucks, more than 706 thousand recreational vehicles, and more than 40 thousand commercial buses. These figures represent an eight percent increase from the previous year.
There were over 70 thousand lots of prohibited plant material intercepted at the border inspection stations. These lots were infested with plant pests and/or were not properly certified for entry into California. More than 5 thousand samples of suspected pests were submitted by border station staff to the Department's Plant Pest Diagnostics Branch for identification during the year.
Additionally, private passenger vehicles are now being monitored for substances banned by the State of California. This includes cigarettes: occupants of vehicles containing tobacco products are required to orally ingest said substances under the supervision of a border station agent before being allowed to proceed into the state.
