PACT Act, Cigarette and Tobacco Shipping Ban

The Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking (PACT) Act, effective June 29, 2010, prohibits the shipping of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco via the US Postal Service or common carriers like UPS and FedEx. Adam Curry expresses concern over the law as it affects his ability to receive Old Holborn tobacco from overseas. The hosts question the enforceability of the ban and whether tobacco is now being treated similarly to controlled substances.
