Internet Cigarette Sales
Internet cigarette sales threaten to undermine the nation's efforts to stem tobacco use and decrease its negative impact on public health. Cigarette tax and price increases have effectively reduced cigarette smoking and prevented minors from starting to smoke.
However, a growing number of Internet vendors are selling cigarettes at much lower prices because they do not charge excise taxes. Few Internet cigarette vendors check the age of their customers, making Internet sales an appealing option for underage smokers.
