The news in Maine is good. Some powerful folks are fighting the anti-smoking agenda. In Wisconsin, the Governor stopped the State Tax & Rev (temporarily) from trying to collect state taxes on internet tobacco sales.

Just saying that these are two kernels of good news in a sea of anti-smoking efforts worldwide in which the antis have seemingly won every round so far.

Ok thanks!

But the AG in Maine wants to over throw the Judge's decision that Maine can't stop mail delivery in the state.

The ruling traces federal pre-emption of interstate commerce to an 1887 law. While Congress has written into the law some areas that are exempt from federal pre-emption, the Maine Tobacco Delivery law "fits none of the exemptions," the judge wrote.

AG Rowe is still nit picking 25-30% of the Maine people who choose to buy a legal product at a fair price since the state just doubled the cigarette taxes from $1 dollar to $2 dollars a pack coming in September.

The state is going to lose even more revenue after this happens.
