Conclusions
The most powerful attempt to ban the cigarettes trade occurred in 2000 when NY State legislators and Gov. George Pataki agreed to ban cigarette sales made over the Internet. The measure prohibits private motor carriers, such as FedEx, from delivering Internet and mail order shipments of cigarettes directly to consumers.
The measure was almost immediately challenged in the courts by Indian reservation-based smokeshops and so the law was not implemented.
According to published reports, the federal court in New York ruled in 2001 that a state law prohibiting mail-order, Internet and telephone sales of cigarettes is unconstitutional because it places an undue burden on interstate commerce.
