November 11, 2002 -- Sen. Charles Schumer is proposing new legislation to crack down on Internet butt-heads who sell cigarettes to teens.

The proposal comes after sting operations cut the number of New York shops and bodegas that sell cigarettes to minors, Schumer said yesterday.

Are we to assume this man can prove his point, where oh where do all these kids get credit cards from.......... case closed.

once with an ID that Web site operators would confirm through government databases

Such a frisson Chuck must experience at the thought.

Think of the benefits for the children!!

Well, lets get the Jenkins Act after all these online auctions first! How about it?

It's not going to happen - the Jenkins Act only deals with tobacco sales and purchases. Nothing else.

Thanks for the Ping.

Hey Chuckie, AIDS will kill you faster than cigarettes.

[Max McGarrity]

Run! Run for your lives! CHUCKIE'S back!

Someone ought to point out to Chuckie that kids are no longer allowed to play "stickball"...how is it that parents can police that and not kids' internet use?

Give those kids CONDOMS! Keep 'em off cigarettes! /sarcasm, of course.

Isn't it funny that Chuck Schumer is the same politican who voted against requiring a photo ID in order to vote. He's also against parental notification on abortion. Yet he wants to create a whole bureaucracy just to police internet cigarette sales.

I'd say Schumer is the worst senator ever, but his comrade Hillary! is even worse!

It's only funny in a VERY sick manner. What has happened in my native city is very disheartening.
