UPS has joined the 'smoking police'.

Tonight, I heard on the news that UPS will no longer deliver cigarettes.

hmmm, what about porn DVD's? Or violence filled CD's??? Or perhaps the old gent who lives next door will no longer be able to order his staples from www.netgrocer.com; something might contain unacceptable amounts of cholesterol...

Are these people nuts!!! Since when can UPS or any other commercial company make 'moral' decisions for me?

I am a 60 yr old woman in a wheelchair. Trying to live on $870 a month.
And UPS will not deliver cigarettes to me???

Native Americans make them. Native Americans want to sell them. I want to buy them. None of this is illegal.

As it is, they can NO longer accept credit card purchases, either on their web sites, or over the phone. OUR government wants folks to buy their tobacco products in their own states, so that they can extract their 'taxes'. Whatever happened to the Boston Tea Party???

So, I have to send a check or money order. And I do.

Well I am only one person, but I do have a VOICE, and I will no longer ship via UPS for any reason, from any company where I shop. FedX can deliver things to my grandchildren. The USPS can bring me my Native produced cigarettes.

I will also tell everyone I know to NOT use UPS! Everyone needs to take a stand. Or soon UPS will decide YOU don't need pet supplies, books, or some great buy from eBay!

Domino's Pizza is still trying to get out from under the 'consumer' boycott women sponsored. I can only hope the same happens to UPS.

The C.A.V.E. People (Citizens Against Virtually Everything), have finally gone too far...
