PACT Act Still in Holding Pattern

In the last couple of days, I've commented elsewhere on the Mean Girls from high school that we all knew.  Mean Girls do not grow up.  They grow older and resent it.  They grow into mean, nasty, vicious, controlling, vindictive, manipulative girls but want the world to see them as beautiful, caring,…

Real Costs of the PACT Act

For a while, internet cigarettes were largely delivered through UPS.  Then the standard became USPS.  Now that option is allegedly gone.  DHL anyone?
