Unfortunately, Congress is trying to put a stop to that. Since the United States Postal Service will deliver tobacco products, HR 2813 was introduced in the House on June 8, 2005 "to make cigarettes and certain other tobacco products non-mailable".

The postal service said they cannot do this.  They have to hire on more people to open every "suspected" package, etc, and they just won't do it.

The lawmakers have a fit over cigarettes passing through the mail, yet say nothing when it comes to child porno?  Go figure.

Agreed, but if the law passes it will make it illegal for online vendors to mail tobacco products with any carrier. Whether that law can (or will) be enforced, and whether or not tobacco vendors will attempt to use USPS anyway, is another matter. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
