A company spokesman also said that improper taxation and restricting youth access to online sales are broader issues that Philip Morris is addressing. Improper taxation? Who are they to worry about taxes? And the lawmakers bumped up the taxes on cigarettes so high, a lot of smokers HAVE gone to the Net to be able to afford them.
Youth access? What parent is going to give their CC to their teens to buy cigarettes online? And if they do, who's business is it? PM is biting off the hands that fed it to make it the Empire it is today. Pity.
