Thumbs down I'm glad I don't live in Utah
Below is an article posted by the AP on the CNBC website.

SALT LAKE CITY - The Utah Senate has passed a bill to prohibit people from ordering tobacco and tobacco products by mail or on the Internet.

Sen. Margaret Dayton, R-Orem, says the purpose of the bill is to keep underage people from smoking.

The bill would limit individuals to buying tobacco products from vending machines and local stores.

Violations could result in a fine up to $5,000.

The bill was passed by the Senate unanimously Friday and will be debated further in the House.

Re: I'm glad I don't live in Utah
Beautiful state, obviously the Citizens of the great state of Utah get what they vote for!! Seem to recall Ca. residence occasionally threadened with simular legistation, fortunately rational minds prevail, if nothing else, does not take much to activate Ca. residents.

Re: I'm glad I don't live in Utah
Maybe I'm missing something, but how are they going to police this?

Re: I'm glad I don't live in Utah
Doesn't it go against interstate commerce laws?

Re: I'm glad I don't live in Utah
They've been trying to stop internet tobacco sales for a long time. It started with the major credit card companies banning internet/phone/mail order sales of tobacco. That was more of a guideline than a law, but...now it looks like we're going to start having actual laws against sales that aren't face-to-face.

Exactly, I ear ya !!

Tuned into C-Span and caught the discussion of the Commission assigned to make recommendations for the Health Care Plan and just so happens the Representative for the American Heart Association's was making his suggestion of raising the tax on tobacco products $.62, and commented it would not only act to curb behavior but also a source of revenue. Get your email pens on the ready.
