Tennessee Bill Would Outlaw Internet/Mail Order Cigar Sales

[El Presidente]

 

A new bill introduced in the Tennessee legislature would make it illegal for retailers to ship cigars directly to consumers in the state and add complications to local retailers.

S.B. 2086, also known as the Tobacco Product Retail Licensing Act, would add new rules for retailers wanting to do business in the state of Tennessee.

Just a reminder that Tennessee is a staunchly Republican state with a supermajority in their House.  

There are cigar enemies in both parties.

I believe Hawaii (and Utah) has had a similar law in place for several years now. Although making purchases these days isn’t necessary and I rarely do, I’ve found it’s still possible, but the options for source are fewer.

Making cigar smokers criminals, state by state, one bill at a time.
