MasterCard will no longer support the sales of tobacco products online

If they are going to do this, then they should be "fair" and nix online alcohol sales too. Makes sense to me

Eventually, there will be a third party payer like poopail, to take care of online tobacco purchases.

Yea but Alcohol is publicly acceptable, even though it causes liver cancer and automobile accidents...

All individuals, that enjoy the freedoms of their own judgement should take offense to ANY institution trying to influence or define what is and is not acceptable for them to partake...

Oh I wasn't saying I want them to nix tobacco and alcohol transactions. Just if they are going to take a stand like this, might as well do both. Freakin bastards.

Can't honestly recall hearing of any time that it was enforced against a cigar order.

2 of my cards are MC and still have no problem making online purchases with them. Matter of fact I made a cigar purchase with 1 of them 2 weeks ago.

I thought it was the idiot behind the wheel that caused the collision. If you drink and drive I'm sorry to say but that is no accident.

Tu Che...

you are, of course, correct... I was more or less just saying that they are both "bad" in their own respects. The only determinable difference is that one is socially acceptable while the other is not. It comes down to the individual to use their judgement... When you heed your own ability to judge things to the judgement of others or of organizations you do not deserve the "freedom" you are so willing to give up...

Just made a cigar purchase with my MC yesterday. MC is not going to bite the hand that feeds them.
