Answer 1

The effect of the French and Indian War that most contributed to smuggling in the colonies was **increased taxes from the British**. The war led the British government to impose higher taxes to help cover the war debts and the costs of maintaining British troops in North America, which incentivized colonists to engage in smuggling to avoid these taxes.
