There are a number of factors that need to be present before a criminal act takes place. However do I have a problem with people like these Internet vendors who encourage people to break the laws implying that its legal to do so ? Yes, very much. Do I have a problem with tobacco users encouraging others to break laws while making it sound right and risk less , you bet.
Do I have a problem with people who use the breaking of the law as a political statement knowing full well the consequences and being prepared to take those consequences, No. I admire them but the others who do it for personal gain and who get others to do so are scum.
How about answering the question.
"Do I have a problem with tobacco users encouraging others to break laws while making it sound right and risk less , you bet."
King George would have loved your attitude.
Do Internet vendors actually encourage people to break the law? Or to they simply offer a service of convenience re: a legal product?
"...encourage people to break the laws implying that its legal to do so..." That what is legal to do so? Buying tobacco products via the mail, phone, and/or internet? Purchasing goods from out of state?
Last but not least, whence came this rise of tribal and internet tobacco sales? What brought it about? What keeps it fueled? Why do otherwise law abiding use this service to purchase a perfectly legal service, when physically it would be much easier to simply buy it locally? Could it be people know why politically and why economically prices of tobacco products are what they are, and so will not pay those wildly distorted prices?
