Indian-made cigarettes seen as cheap, toxic and tax-free!

In Iroquois history, Seneca is a name of great pride, the Keepers of the Western Door.

But to thousands of smokers, from California to Florida and from the Caribbean to Mexico and especially in upstate New York, Seneca is something entirely different: a cheap cigarette that has prompted grave health concerns and dozens of lawsuits.

Some industry executives believe the Seneca brand alone could push 10 billion cigarettes a year in volume.
