They seem to have a problem with it.

Why?

Umm, don't know. The previous owners didn't like guns, gun owners, cigar smokers, cigars, cigarettes, etc. They didn't mind cheap pills, (big money), until the feds stepped in.

But let's keep politics out of the forums. ;)

There are lots of reasons. One of them is that interstate sales of tobacco without the required state tax stamps is illegal. So is selling tobacco to minors and unless you have ironclad proof-of-age procedures on your site, you can't guarantee that you're in the clear.

Just because you think something's OK doesn't mean it's legal.

Horse$hit. They used to sell vicodin ads to anyone.

Sales or promotion of tobacco or tobacco-related products

Why is this even a thread?

I weep for the future
