NH court to rule in roll-your-own cigarette suit

The New Hampshire Supreme Court is about to define what constitutes a cigarette.
The court will rule Thursday and a Brookline tobacco retailer could see a lot of money go up in smoke.

North of the Border Tobacco two years ago installed machines that can roll 200 cigarettes in 10 minutes.

Lawyers for the state say the company is a cigarette manufacturer and should be paying into a national fund to offset Medicaid costs associated with tobacco-related illnesses.

North of the Border's lawyers say if anyone is manufacturing cigarettes, it's the customers who pay a fee to use the machines.
