I say three cheers for the Seneca Indians and three jeers for the author of this NYT article for writing such a biased, one-sided column. Hopefully this means that the PACT ACT will be defeated again. This isn't just about cigarettes; it could affect all mail-order tobacco business in the U.S. Most of these businesses are mom and pop operations. So is this journalist for Big Tobacco who supports the PACT ACT, or for the Indians and mom and pop stores that only have a small share of the market?
If he is doing it for the children - which I doubt - than what about all the children who rely on the money that supports them from these businesses that are targeted by the PACT ACT? Seems like the parents are ultimately responsible to make sure their kids don't order tobacco by mail not legislation that harms a person's business.
