In a lot of cases , alcohol and tobacco fall under different rules, not necessarly under the sales tax law. Some states have a maximum that can be brought into their state from outside if it falls under a "personal use" exemption. (Alcohol even has an exemption under the Federal alcohol tax for a certain maximum that is purchased outside the U.S.) Bootlegging usually applies when a person purchases alcohol or tobacco products for resale
