The chicken chits were threatened and got cold feet. We also understand that smokers are being threatened that UPS will also be giving the State Lawmakers names and addresses of people who order tobacco products online.

"When cigarette sales outlets appeared online, state tax collectors invoked the federal 1949 Jenkins Act, which mandates that anyone who sells and ships cigarettes must report to state tax collectors the name and address of resident customers, along with the brand smoked and quantity of cigarettes bought."
