"A spokesman for Philip Morris said it discourages online sales of its products, mostly because of age-verification questions. The company has asked several online retailers to remove its products for that reason, he said, and some, though by no means all, have done it."
Last week when I bought cigarettes at the upstate Seneca Reservation I was surprised to see signs posted saying, "Limit: 2 cartons of Marlboros". No limit on any other brands. When I asked the clerk, "why", she told me that Philip Morris ordered it and the order was being strictly enforced due to black market reselling.

Philip Morris ordered it and the order was being strictly enforced due to black market reselling. Philip Morris is despictable. I wish everyone who smoked their products would smoke something else. I wish PM would just sell their cheese and shut the hell up!
