saw this on the web page for a smokeshop in my state.
IF YOU ARE ORDERING TOBACCO PRODUCTS AND LIVE IN THE STATE OF Arizona, Utah, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Alabama, South Carolina, Idaho, Georgia, Texas, Vermont, Massachusetts, Delaware, Wisconsin, California, New York, Illinois or North Carolina YOU COULD LOSE YOUR RIGHT TO PURCHASE TOBACCO PRODUCTS ONLINE! http://www.djsmokeshop.com/important_message.html more info
You can find the text of the legislation here. :smiley23: From what I can gather, this bill is about helping the states to garner the taxes that are evidently due to them. From reading it, it looks as if you will get your cigarettes online IF the appropriate taxes are paid for. Perhaps I'm missing something, but it doesn't appear to outright ban internet selling of cigarettes. At the same time, I wonder who is lining senator Hatch's pockets with money to help push this through. :smiley3:

Geez....keep your blog crapola to yourself, lefty....
Sorry about that George. :smiley9: The link can be found here. Once you get to the search page, you have to type in "S.1177" to get the text of the legislation. At the same time, I'm still looking for how this would ban cigarette buying online.
Holy crap, Alfred!!! You're back on topic! I thought this was going to be a political discussion, seeing as how you were working the Republican angle in your first post and it appeared you were espousing your left wing views... Will miracles never cease!!!Quote:

The verdict is in, Scroto is GUILTY of turning this seemingly innocent thread into yet another one of his left wing political statements.Quote:

Yep, the bill is just about how to combat the black market of tobacco sales that go to the "bad guys." Senator Hatch has a good website, you can find his comments on the bill here.
That is TWO YEARS OLD.Quote:
