A couple were caught with 150,000 cigarettes in 10 suitcases as they disembarked from the Carnival Firenze cruise ship in Long Beach, California, after visiting Mexico. The women claimed that the 749 packets seized were for personal use. US law allows each adult to enter the country with a maximum of 200 cigarettes, so this is a "minor" deviation from the allowed limit. The cigarettes were seized and sent for destruction. Their estimated market value is $60,000.
