[QUOTE="jhuggett, post: 13009, member: 2"] I don't think this is antismoking... It's state governments putting the pressure on the credit card companies. Buying tobacco products online (across state lines) "robs" local governments of tobacco taxes. Some states have formed agreements to collect taxes for each other buy requiring retailers to collect them if the customer happens to live in one of their partner states. The credit card companies could give a crap about what you spend your money on as long as they make money but government inquiries and investigations can cost them a lot of money and some jurisdictions are moving forward with legislation to make it illegal for credit card companies to process certain transactions. Like online gambling for instance. [/QUOTE]
