I've always been puzzled why a new tobacco company that enters the market has to pay for the sins of the past. Perhaps this is why Phillip Morris tried so hard to shut down Yessmoke.
There are a few tobacco company's that didn't go in with the Attorney Generals. I forget what company's they are, but there are a few. It's not Phillip Morris that is trying to shut down the online cigarette sales (although I don't doubt that they are lobbying Congress for this), but actually, it is the state lawmakers that are pissed because the state isn't reaping that tax money when smoker's buy off of the net.
And Phillip Morris is one dirty deed! They toot their horn about how everyone should quit smoking yet they still sell their cigarettes. They talk out of both sides of their mouth. I can't stand PM!
