Internet Tobacco Ban Fever Spreads to Utah
Utah becomes the second US State after New York to propose legislation banning the Internet purchase of tobacco products in order to increase tobacco tax collection.
In 2008, Rep Weiner (D-NY) introduced the PACT Act in the US House of Representatives. The PACT act would make it a felony, not to order tobacco over the Internet, but for all common carriers to deliver it to residential customers within the United States. The Bill passed overwhelmingly in the House but did not have time to be considered by the US Senate before the end of the Congressional Session.
The Pact Act is expected to be reintroduced and passed in 2009.
