The New York Attorney General's office is raising questions about Internet kiosks the Oneida Nation has placed in convenience stores to sell cigarettes.

The machines allow customers at off-reservation locations to buy tax-free cigarettes from the tribe and thereby save up to $20 a carton. The state says this could possibly violate the law.

The state's new 39-cent increase on packs of cigarettes goes into effect today.
